No, there is no connection between the two infections. TB is caused by a bacterium called mycobacteria. The flu is caused by an influenza virus.

Small foci of demyelination in both hemispheres of the brain can be caused by conditions such as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), neuromyelitis optica (NMO), leukodystrophies, and infections like progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). These conditions can present with similar patterns of demyelination to multiple sclerosis (MS) but have distinct underlying causes and clinical features. A detailed evaluation by a neurologist and additional tests such as MRI, lumbar puncture, and blood tests are typically needed to differentiate between these conditions.
Finger cramps can be caused by overuse, dehydration, lack of minerals like potassium or magnesium, or underlying medical conditions like arthritis.
Uneven forearms can be caused by muscle imbalances, differences in strength or flexibility between the two arms, overuse of one arm, poor posture, or underlying medical conditions such as nerve damage or skeletal abnormalities.
Renal hydronephrosis is a condition where there is dilation or swelling in the kidney due to a buildup of urine.
