Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Common sites of infection include lung, lymph nodes, the membranes that cover the brain (meninges), the joints, the kidneys and the membrane covering the digestive organs (peritoneum). Tuberculosis bacteria are spread from person to person through the air. Doctors usually treat TB with a combination of four drugs – isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol. This combination is considered first line treatment. The therapy usually lasts 6 months or longer. For newly diagnosed lymph node TB, all four drugs - isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol (AKT – 4) – are given for first 2 months, and for the rest 4 months only two drugs – isonizid & rifampicin (AKT – 2) – are given. It is very important that you take these medications as prescribed to prevent the bacteria from becoming resistant to the drugs. Tuberculosis that is not resistant to medication and is almost always cured if the person complies with the treatment regimens. Advice 1. Continue AKT – 4 as suggested by your doctor 2. Consume high protein diet like eggs, chicken, dairy products, fruits and vegetables Thanks
