Tb cure can be claimed after 12 to 18 months of Antituberculosis chemotherapy, but before that functioning of the brain can be expected , given no other complications arise

hello everyone

My father is suffering from Brain TB, in the initial MRI about 24 lesions were noticed but after almost 2 months of anti-tuberculosis treatment recent MRI showed and increase in the number of spots in the brain, has anyone witnessed this in their respective cases?

please do let me know....thanks

If the treatment is correct, there won't be any increase in lesions. But it takes time (sometimes few years) to get cured completely.
Ask patient to take rest, have enough sleep,
walk in fresh morning air. keep him occupied so as not to get psycologically disturbed.

I am ex-brain tb patient but now 100% cured.

thanks for the reply pd...so how long did it take to get urself totally cured

For me, it was detected bit late and it also relapsed but complete treatment took 7 years
The medicines are very strong and cause side effects like depression. Also reflexes are slowed down

1. Drink your lemons.
2. Give your body an herbal boost.
3. Get a full night's sleep.
4. Eat plenty of protein.
5. Drink plenty of water.
6. Stop drinking coffee.
7. If you do only one thing to boost your immune system, eliminating sugar will do the trick.
8. Stock up on raw fruits and vegetables for their antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber and enzymes.
9. Spend some time out in the cold.
10. Nurture yourself.

My father(60 yearrs old) is suffering from brain tb and infactus(One small acute), and he is in coma(not sure) for the last one week, can any one has similar case?
Can he would come back out of long sleep?
Any help would be appreciated!!!!

i will like to to known the symptoms of brain Tb, i will be happy to learn and known the symptoms of this am expecting your reply please

I have a friend who seemed to have no symptoms leading up to a grand mal seizure. The CT scan showed what was initially thought to be a cancerous tumor in her brain. Later it was found to be TB. In hind sight her and her family felt there had been signs that were never noticed or connected. She slept all the time and was tired during waking hours. Now we know that prior to the Grand mal seizure, there had been many petite mal seizures that were not detected. While she slept at night, her brain seized many times. Thus her brain was never at rest. She had no headaches, or illness to speak of, but her brother said there were times that he would get irritated because she would ignore him and just space off when being talked to. The doctor said those moments may well have been petite mal seizures.

The upside is that after surgery to remove the mass and two months of serious antibiotics, she is healthy and TB free.
