Hi, thanks for writing to HCM and sharing your persistent health concerns!

Well, this is common and nothing but infection by an unusual or atypical strain of tuberculous bacteria which is common now-a-days! The bacilli are resistant to classical or routine anti-tubercular medicines and generally the patients need a personalized therapy under strict medical supervision!

I would further suggest you to go for BACTEC CULTURE FOR AFB WITH CULTURE/SENSITIVITY TESTS to determine the definitive medicines appropriate in your case!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
