Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, she is having hemoptysis (blood from the lungs).
Since she is suffering from tuberculosis (relapse), hemoptysis is not a good sign.
Hemoptysis is suggestive of drug resistance tuberculosis.
Drug resistance tuberculosis is commonly seen with relapse cases.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done sputum AFB culture and sensitivity report.
This will diagnose if drug resistance is there or not and sensitivity report will guide about effective anti tubercular drugs.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further
Wishing good health to your wife. Thanks.
