While it is not actually recommend to give levoflox without culture sensitivity done for tuberculosis drugs
if the symptoms are getting improved you can discontinue it after full 1 month.
Hi⦠you have lymph node tuberculosis. Is this your first episode or any relapse?⦠tab akurit-4 4 tablets to be taken empty stomach⦠in my opinion levoflox is not indicated. Until there is some intolerance or hepatotoxicity associated with anti tuberculosis therapy⦠consult chest physician nearby.
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 resistanceâ¦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.
Hi. Seems to have involvement of lung and spine both due to tb⦠need to consult orthopedics/ neurologist⦠mri spine or whole body pet ct to look for other sites of involvement⦠could be drug resistant or paradoxical phenomenon or rule out any other alternative diagnosisâ¦in my opinion att to be continued for 9-12 months atleast. Rule out collection in spine. Consult doctor nearby. Thanks.

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.

There is a way to treat drug- induced hepatitis. We should stop all att, then introduce the first- line drugs in small doses, one by one, repeating sgot/sgpt ay regular intervals. There is no need to add a second-line drug like moxifloxacin.
