Hello, I have pulmonary tuberculosis .i am 2nd time tuberculosis patient (i suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis in 2008. Now, My sputum test says 3+ afb detected and my Gene Xpert says - HIGH MTB DETECTED and NOT RESISTANCE TO rifampicin. I am on ATT (FIRST LINE WITH STREPTOMYCIN) from 1 month. BUT, I have very high grade fever almost 103 degree at evening. My blood test for typhoid, malaria, kalajar are negative. There is no weight gain in this 1 month after ATT started. My weight is 38, haemoglobin is 7 and RBC is 2.60,ESR - 98. This high grade fever irritates me and there is no gain in weight after 1 month of treatment. SO WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Kidly write detail of ATT with doses. Streptomycin have no role in retreatment . In most cases fever starts showing downtrends in 15 days, but in some may take long time. sputum should also be sent for afb culture and sensitivity to primary drugs.
