What is Tuberculosis (TB)?

Tuberculosis is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The infection spreads through tiny airborne droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks.

Although TB most commonly affects the lungs (Pulmonary TB), it may also affect lymph nodes, bones, kidneys, brain, and other organs.

With timely diagnosis and a complete course of treatment, most patients recover successfully.

Tuberculosis Treatment

Tuberculosis is a treatable disease when the prescribed medication course is completed.

Your treatment plan may include:

Anti-Tubercular Therapy (ATT)

A combination of medications is prescribed according to national and international treatment guidelines. Completing the full course is essential for successful recovery.

Regular Follow-Up

Periodic consultations help monitor progress, manage side effects, and ensure the infection is responding well to treatment.

Nutritional Guidance

Proper nutrition supports the immune system and promotes faster recovery during treatment.

Management of Drug-Resistant TB

Patients suspected of drug-resistant tuberculosis undergo appropriate evaluation and individualized treatment planning.

Monitoring Lung Health

Even after recovery, follow-up assessments may be recommended to evaluate lung function and detect any long-term complications.

When Should You Visit a Lung Specialist?

Do not ignore persistent respiratory symptoms. Schedule a consultation if you have:

A cough lasting more than two weeks
Difficulty breathing
Persistent fever with cough
Blood in sputum
Frequent lung or chest infections
Recurrent pneumonia
Chest pain associated with breathing
Poor response to previous treatment

Early consultation can prevent serious respiratory complications and improve recovery outcomes.
