Hello

Thank you for posting at HCM.

I am afraid to say, yes, the condition is quite bad as of now. Your aunt is suffering from Tuberculosis in advanced stages with consolidation, lymphadenopathy and pleural effusion.

She needs intensive care treatment along with admission to TB ward and thorough treatment of atleast 9-18 months.

We request you to immediately get in touch with a tertiary care hospital in your area with the reports and the hospital will do the needful. This will require respiratory support along the way of treatment with HREZS therapy.

Please contact your nearest hospital asap, and you are also suggested to keep her in isolation as TB does spread to contacts if not properly immunised.

Feel free to post again if you have any additional queries.
Thank you
