Condition
TB & drug-resistant TB
Resistance-tested before the first pill.
Most TB today is treated at home, on daily tablets, with the family taught how to keep everyone safe. What it needs is the right diagnosis — including the drug-resistance test — before the first pill.
Signs worth a visit
A cough past two weeks, evening fever, night sweats, weight loss, or blood in the phlegm.
How it is tested here
Sputum and molecular testing, imaging, and bronchoscopy when the sample must come from the lung itself. MDR and XDR-TB have their own clinic.
