The TB medication is for 9 months and pyrazinamide will cause nausea and vomiting and you can change if your doctor decides it

Normal tuberculosis (i. E not drug resistant) can be treated along with presence of pregnancy. Not to worry if one has been given rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol and pyrazinamide for treatment of tb along with pregnancy. So no need for abortion but regular consultation with gynaecologist for monitoring fetal well being growth and development is needed.

I already advised both tablets
follow on with liver function tests again after 5 days
if you arevok once again liver function tests after 10 days.

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, tb infection should have been cured by your mentioned drug courses.
Sometimes lymph nodes calcify and don't reduce in size or number, so if you want to know if you are suffering from active tb infection, kindly undergo gene-expert or cbnaat test.
A positive gene-expert or cbnaat test, will require treatment and if negative, you can leave the lymph nodes as they are.
Wishing you good health.

this recurrence is not due to corticosteroid. total duration
should.be1 to*y 11/2yearst

If 9 months of treatment is over, att should be stopped. In cervical tb lymphadenitis, the nodes in the neck may shrink/ enlarge or new nodes can appear on the other side, all happens during the course of treatment. This doesn't mean that att didn't work or tb wasn't cured. The nodes will eventually disappear, or tiny nodes may remain in the neck permanently.

Yes if you can tolerate and there is no vomiting and nausea the best time to take is before breakfast on empty stomach.

M. tuberculosis strains with extensively drug resistant-TB (XDR-TB), that is resistant to either isoniazid or rifampicin (like MDR tuberculosis), any fluoroquinolone, and at least one of three second-line antituberculosis injectable drugs—i.e., capreomycin, kanamycin, and amikacin have also been reported

Gene Xpert will diagnose Rifampicin resistance. And it is a surrogate marker of INH resistance. Consult a Pulmonologist with the reports.

Dear,
It is fairly accurate and reliable Treatment is based on the test and further tests by microbial culture confirm the combination of drugs and duration.
