Velcade treatment during tuberculosis treatment?

by salma on Tue Nov 22, 2016 2:22 am

My father may have devel­oped Pott's disease (tu­ber­cu­losis in the spine) after his stem cell trans­plant 5 months ago.

He is currently receiving Velcade maintenance therapy. Will he still be able to receive his Velcade treatment if he also has to receive treatment for his tuberculosis?
