May or may not be drug resistant or may be NTM. In some cases though drug sensitive, sample will be positive after intensive phase. Sample will be sent for verification of resistant pattern automatically if it was government sector. Continue ATT for one more month, repeat AFB stain or go for resistant pattern immediately. Take online consultation for better evaluation and management.
