Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

In pulmonary tuberculosis consolidation present in lung ...
You have positive symptoms also .and PCR positive .
So for tuberculosis you had started AKT therapy.

These drug regimen is very effective for TB .
But sometime having potential side effect that is mainly hepatotoxicity....

You have drug induce hepatitis ...
So you have to stop drugs ...
Take low fat diet and fruits more .
After resolution of hepatitis AKT reintroduced....
Some physician in such case prescribing modified AKT.

So consult physician with keeping these in mind ...

Take care
