Yes
the policy is to add 2 new drugs if required
consult a specialist in tb since you intend to add only levofloxacin to already effective medication.

I will suggest you to do usg chest and bronchoscopy! tb may be a possibility. But diagnosis is not so easy. When nothing is detected, treatment is based on clinical findings!

The outcome is totally unpredictable.It varies from case to case .Most important is immediate stoppage of ethambutol. Rest are non-specific eg vitamins etc.

Hello,
akt once started needs to be continued for 6 to 9 months.
You could do a liver function test blood test just so as to see if akt has caused any hepatic disfunction which is a known side effect of akt
and make sure she takes the tablets in 10 min interval.
U can try to take the tabelts 2 hour after food if she has been taking it empty stomach.
Hope this helps.

Pulmonologist altered regimen and added levofloxacin because you had liver side effects with pyrazinamide which was stopped
the standard regimen of rifampicin isoniazid ethambutol pyrazinamide is a guideline with exception when necessary
it is not an inviolable dictate
still in doubt consult pulmonologist at nationaltb institute bangalore malleswaram.

For itching anti histaminic is needed ethambutol should be given for 3 -6 months. Blood and liver tests are not routinely tested but if signs of jaundice are there needs to be done. 3 litres of water should be adequate per day. Wish you speedy recovery.

your fever is almost under controll means medicine has started working. If you show good response to treatment why go for vsensitivity test, if no response to above drugs then next step will be taken, take above medicine with a single day miss and take good nutritious diet with milk, egg, fruits and vegetables good luck.
