Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

The treatment provided to you is right and appropriate.

Recently there are multidrug infection by tuberculosis strains have been noticed. For this purpose resistant testing of tuberculosis bacteria is necessary.

One such test is GeneXpert, this can diagnose the most important drug isoniazid. This will give us clue that whether given drugs will act upon TB or not.

Completing schedule of the TB drug is very important, if you discontinue the drug than resistant will develop in the bacilli. This can make the bacilli more resistant and makes the treatment more difficult. So in my advice please maintain good schedule of the TB drug.

Please live healthy life by exercise, good diet and hygiene. This makes you better to fight with TB.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
