Quick Takeaways
  • Diagnosis combines sputum tests, chest imaging, and drug-sensitivity testing.
  • Treatment plans are matched to the exact TB strain, including drug-resistant forms.
  • Full recovery means completing the entire 6+ month course, not just symptom relief.

Every TB journey starts with an accurate diagnosis — sputum tests, chest imaging, and where needed, molecular testing to check drug sensitivity. From there, our experts build a treatment plan matched to the exact form of TB involved, including drug-resistant strains, and stay with you through the full 6+ month course to recovery.

Most patients begin standard first-line therapy, monitored closely for side effects and early signs of improvement. If resistance is detected, the plan shifts to a longer, more closely supervised second-line regimen. Throughout treatment, regular follow-up tests track how well the infection is responding, so the plan can be adjusted quickly if needed rather than waiting out a fixed schedule blind.

Recovery does not end when symptoms disappear — completing the full prescribed course is what actually cures TB and prevents relapse or resistance. Our team supports patients through every stage of that process, from the first test to the final all-clear.
