Dear,
There are two common tests
One molecular test in 1 or 2 days result
Another test of microbial culture and drug susceptibility that takes 4-12 weeks.
Both are available in State Govt TB centres free of cost.

My father aged 68, some 8 months back was diagnosed for Spine TB and he started on AKT4 for 2 months, AKT3 for the next month but had to stop due to vision loss and following 5 months was taking Rifampicin and Isoniazid. His vision is almost back with some eye power complaint. Recent blood report shows hemoglobin at 11.5. He has recently started to complaint about burning sensation while peeing and frequent urination. His Blood urea, BUN is high and so is creatinine = 1.77. I consulted general medicine doctor and put him on nefrolex for 5 days and then redo the KFT. However, after taking this medicine he was complaining of back pain, joint pain, fever, mouth rash, loose stool and high glucose reading. Its 9 days since he started neroflex and 4 days he has stopped, his is left with stomach pain and high glucose reading. Will the high blood glucose subside soon? He was at 99/153 before and is reporting 145/225 now. We have eliminated almost all carbs barring greens, salad and increased protein to prevent any ill effects. He is taking gliclazide for sugar control. FYI. He is taking 40 mg of pyridoxine, his blood work shows platelet count=130, ESR 70, CRP has come down from 67 to 8.4, LFT results are normal, Remarks of Hemogram: RBCs: Mild anisopoikilocytosis.

Rifampicin is oral (systemic) and antibiotic drops are (topical) less chances of interactions. Please ask your ear doctor about the interaction directly. Not all antibiotics interact with each other.

It's ok to take your fasting RComes which I consider is rifampicin and isoniazid 15 to 30 min empty stomach then only breakfast .avoid Razo d with it. If needed can be taken even before dinner. Rest is good. Weight gain is reassuring. Do get regular monitoring of disease with your physician.

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

All medicines have a fixed time taken to show their effect and remain active in our body for a fixed amount of time. The doses of medications are fixed as per this principle. So pls take your medicine in prescribed dose and at correct time for optimum results and minimum side effects.

Health Query

I had left pleural effusion and I am on ATT (rcinex, pz 1500, ethambutol 1200) for 1.5 month. On the start of treatment due to liver problem rifampicin was stopped for a week and levofloxacin 500 was added and after 1 week rifampicin 450 (earlier 600) started again and after that I am normal but doctor tried to introduce rifampicin 600 (as my weight is 67 kg) but whenever I took rifampicin 600 I feel very weak and my head, palm ,ears get heated and I feel hot so I reverted to rifampicin 450 (attempted 3 times). Sir is this dose of rifampicin sufficient and is there any chance of getting MDR tb due to low dose (I never skipped a single dose. Rcinex 450/300, pz 1500, combutol 1200, levofloxacin 500)

Hi Sir. Im undergoing treatment for lymph node TB. I missed my morning dose of Isoniazid (300) few days ago. Will it have any effect?

Usually missing a single dose does not affect the course of the disease. But if you miss the dose in the morning take it in the day whenever you remember.
