Hi.
Thanks for your query and specific information and understanding

The cause of failed treatment can be either of the following:
-The ATT is ineffective , so may need a second line of ATT (anti tuberculosis treatment) with oflox and other medicines under the guidance of the Specialist.
-Needs exploration, removal of the lymph nodes and subject to histo-pathology as there is possibility of another diagnosis like Lymphoma.
-Supportive treatment of proteins and iron,
-Get all relevant blood tests particularly the Liver function tests.
