[|Human|] my brothers caught tuberculosis, they live together. Roland stayed home, his tb is active and takes medication - antibiotics / 5 days a week/ current date 3 months. He tells me that he only takes the antibiotics 3x a week now. The other brother moved out, because he is on dialysis and diabetic. He was tested for tb and it is latent. He was admitted in the hospital for pneumonia. He has been in the hospital for 13 days today. I am so worried. After doing my research on TB, my understanding on antibiotics is 4 kinds of antibiotics for 3 months and then 2 kinds of antibiotics for the next 6 months. My brother Roland is taking only one kind of antibiotics and he takes it 3x a week. I wish i can tell you the name of the medicine, when i ask my brother, he was so nervous that he couldn t remember. He is very fraustrated with his Doctor, because his doctor doesn t explain his conditions to him throughly. He tells him what to do and tells him your on stage 4 and my brother will asked am on stage 4??? Can you please explain what that means/ My brother feels like his Doctor mistreats him, because when it comes to medical Q & A, he just doesn t get the help from his doctor . So my question is, is this Doctor giving my brother an honest treatment? The other brother Rudy is admitted in the hospital, he pneumonia, his been in the hospital for 12 days as of today. He is on dialysis, his diabetic and he was also diagnosis with TB (latent) he is in the intentsive care unit. I ask what meds are they giving you and he replied Azithromyzin through the IV and antibiotics. I don t know what kind of antibiotics, we had to cut our visit short. My question is I am so worried for my brothers, are they being help? with the correct dosage of antibiotics? They are from Guam US Teritory
[|AI|]  Hello, As your brother already diagnosed as tuberculosis, may I know whether he is new case or relapse or defaulter case because in tuberculosis, the treatment depends on the category. Whether he underwent sputum culture sensitivity test? For another brother having pneumonia, as already he is in ICU, so physician will start proper antibiotics as per culture sensitivity report. I will suggest you to review here with detailed history or consult with the chest physician with reports. I will suggest you take complete course of tuberculosis treatment. Take proper diet, maintain proper hygiene and avoid contact with other people and family members. Do not skip any dose of treatment and do regular follow up with chest physician. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
