TBC Rx: Is Akurit 4 tablet(containing 4 frontline drug for tuberculosis treatment) is alone enough to treat pulmonary tuberculosis with pleural effusion? ANS: This will depend on the sensitivity of the particular TB type you have and the digress of the effusion and where else TB is in your body. The team in your area knows best what works there. Please discuss your concern with them.

Mgt: I would recommend close follow up. The pleural fluid cultures can identify resistance patterns. The therapy is guided accordingly.
