Hello, I understand your concerns. Please give some more information on the following:
1. What are all the tests they did to diagnose TB? Egs- sputum for AFB smear, geneXpert and culture, chest x Ray etc
2. Names of the medicines that he is taking for TB, and any other medicines he is on
3. What are the symptoms he is having now, like loss of weight, persistent cough or fever etc
4. How did they diagnose TB in the spine, abdomen etc?
5. Does he have contact with anyone who has drug-resistant TB? (the initial drugs for TB don't work and they have to take more expensive drugs for longer period)
Important thing is to make sure he takes the medicine for TB very, very regularly and correctly.
Please do get back to us with the additional information and will be happy to help.
Regards,
Dr. Vaishnavi
