Hi Thanks for posting on HCM Swollen spleen is a common finding is severe malaria and some bacteria infections.This is due to over activity of the spleen since it serves as a an immune organ and blood purification organ.The swelling however go progressively after the infection is take care of.Co-infection of malaria and thyphoid is common and will be handled with anti-malaria and antibiotics. Swollen lymph nodes in patients with either pulmonary or extrapulmonary TB is common and treatment with anti TB agents like ethambutol, rifampicin, isoniazid.. yields good results.Other lymph nodes no not be affected again since already on treatment with a positive response.I will advise she takes her treatment as prescribed so as to prevent resistance and recurrence which may make management more challenging. Hope my answer will help you Best regards
