Tuberculosis (TB) Treatment

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB primarily affects the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body, such as the kidneys, bones, or brain. Effective TB treatment involves a combination of medications, usually administered over several months.

TB treatment can be complex and may require adjustments based on individual factors. Patients should work closely with their healthcare provider and follow the recommended treatment plan to achieve a full cure and prevent the development of drug-resistant TB. It is essential to complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished, to ensure the eradication of the TB bacteria.
