You can confirm ny a cb natt test from a government hospital. Cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test (cbnaat) is a recently introduced polymerase chain reaction (pcr) based method for the detection of tb. It also detects rifampicin resistance as it targets the rpob gene of mycobacteria.

Im am 25 years old, present weight 55 kgs (70 1 years before, I am suffering from stomach pain from 1 year in frequent intervals. Im not gaining weight and always burping is the main symptom. Usg and ct scan shown some problem at lower abdomen ileal area ,linked pelvis and appendix, recent usg shown mass formation in the right side of pelvis and enlarged right iliac nodes. My doctor said it is intestinal tb and started treatment. My doubt is how he confirmed as intestinal tb? And he said I have have to take tablets for 1 year and given combunex800 (ethambutol hydrochloride 800 mg and isoniazid 300 mg) and some becoplex tabs, allergy tabs. But I came to know tb treatment will 6 months with 2 months 4 tabs and next 4 months 3 tabs. Why my doctor said treatment will be 1 year and and gave 2 tablets only?

There is no reason for you to continue Pyrazinamide so long. And why is there no isoniazid in the prescribed drugs. The regimen you using for to cure tb is not correct. It should contain rifampicin, isoniazid, Pyrazinamide and ethambutol for 2-3 months and later the drugs should be continued without Pyrazinamide only for 9 months at the most in total.
I don't understand the reason for 1.5 yrs of treatment. Even if it's bone tb the drugs should be for 1 year and without Pyrazinamide.

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.
