hi
tuberculosis manifests in immunocompromised or persons with low immunity , especially hair loss will be due to multivitamin deficiency.
you should start with good nutritious diet with all sufficient carbohydrates, proteins , eggs & milk.
daily intake of boiled eggs, fruits ,nuts, vegetables will help in restoring the nourishment.
please check out with the dermatologist for any infection in the scalp like seborrhoeic dermatitis, or any fungal infection which can also cause hair loss.
all ther best
take care
