Hi… 3 tablets of ripe fd kit should be taken together in fasting state as per your body weight … otherwise you can switch to akurit 4 4 tablets all before breakfast… look for paradoxical phenomenon or drug resistance…if it is paradoxical phenomenon need to add oral steroids in tapering doses along with anti tuberculosis medications… better consult chest physician nearby. Get genexpert from lymph node aspirate. Get complete pus drainage.

Isoniazid prevents latent tb infection in to developing in to active tb (disease with signs and symptoms) as its 10 times more common to get active tb in hiv pos pt than in non hiv pos pt. Pl take pyridoxine with isoniazid. Good to see your cd4 count and vl result. Thanks.

ATT is usually taken for 6 months. After 2 months, pyrazinamide is stopped and other medications should be continued.
In your case case, i suggest you to repeat a CXR to look for the response and amount of remaining fluid. Also continue rifampicin, isoniazid and ethambutol for atleast 3 more months. You can stop pyrazimamide.
