Tuberculosis Treatment

Tuberculosis Diagnosis and Treatment in Malleshwaram | Manipal Hospitals

Successful treatment of tuberculosis needs well-organized long-term treatment protocols to eliminate bacteria while averting antibiotic resistance. Early identification through sputum testing along with clinico-radiological correlation remains crucial in the management of tuberculosis. Treating your condition requires antibiotics for six to nine months based on how severe the infection is and how susceptible it is to drugs. First-line TB treatment includes certain medications to eliminate Mycobacterium tuberculosis. 

When drug resistance occurs in TB patients, Respiratory specialists must maintain prolonged drug use and conduct intensive monitoring tests. Completing the entire prescribed treatment plan remains essential because improper medication completion will produce two harmful results: the infection can return, and drugs can become resistant to multiple treatments. 

The therapy requires sputum tests and imaging studies that help determine the treatment progress and suggest appropriate changes to the treatment plan. Medical staff follow up on potential side effects that affect liver health or result in neuropathy to provide supportive care that effectively handles these complications. Healthcare providers begin preventive medication for latent TB patients to stop the disease from becoming active. Following early detection of tuberculosis and keeping up with treatment requirements will lead to successful recovery and prevent the spread of infection.
