What is TB Diagnosis & Treatment?
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It most commonly affects the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are important to prevent complications and reduce the spread of infection.
TB Diagnosis may involve a medical evaluation along with tests such as sputum examination, chest X-ray, molecular tests, or other investigations depending on the symptoms and suspected site of infection.
TB Treatment generally involves a combination of anti-tuberculosis medicines taken for a prescribed duration. The treatment plan depends on whether the infection is drug-sensitive or drug-resistant, the site of infection, and the patient's overall health.
At KK Swara Super Speciality Hospital in Boduppal, patients can receive comprehensive evaluation, appropriate TB testing, treatment guidance, and follow-up care under experienced medical specialists.
