Tuberculosis
After Doctor told me I have Tuberculosis, He gave me AKT4 prescription but AKT4 was less according to my weight (67kg) , He told me to start AKT4 neglecting my weight factor, I started it but I was tensed so I consulted other Pulmonologist, he told me to start DOTS and take full 6 month course, So After taking 1 Month of AKT4, I switched to DOTS without skipping a day. Now my concern is that Could this have affected my treatment in any way? Should get tested for MDR?

Hi
No need to test MDR now. After finishing two months course your pulmonologist will test again.
