Have you been coughing for more than two weeks, or experiencing unexplained weight loss, recurring fever, night sweats or fatigue? These symptoms may indicate Tuberculosis (TB) — a serious but completely treatable infectious disease when diagnosed early and managed correctly.
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by bacteria that most commonly affects the lungs, although it can involve other parts of the body as well. TB spreads through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks. Despite being common, TB is often misunderstood — with timely diagnosis, proper medication and regular monitoring, the majority of patients can achieve complete recovery.
At Healthy Chest & Sleep Clinic, Dr. Vishal Sharma provides comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care for patients with Tuberculosis, helping them recover safely while preventing complications and disease spread.

You should seek medical evaluation if you experience any of the following. Many patients initially mistake TB symptoms for a prolonged chest infection or seasonal illness, leading to delays in treatment.
A persistent, lingering cough
Coughing up blood-stained phlegm
Fever that keeps returning
Sweating heavily during sleep
Losing weight without trying
Reduced desire to eat
Discomfort in the chest
Persistent tiredness
Shortness of breath on exertion
TB can affect anyone, but certain individuals may have a higher risk. Early evaluation is particularly important in these situations.
Household or close exposure.
Reduced ability to fight infection.
Higher susceptibility to infection.
Weakened lung defences.
Existing respiratory conditions.
Higher risk of transmission.
Patients on such therapy.
The goal is to establish an accurate diagnosis as early as possible, then build a personalised treatment plan and monitor recovery closely.
A comprehensive review of symptoms, exposure history, medical background and risk factors.
Chest X-ray, HRCT chest, sputum testing, CBNAAT/GeneXpert, blood investigations and oxygen assessment.
Additional testing where needed to determine resistance and the most effective plan from the start.
Appropriate treatment planning with monitoring of medication response.
Careful management to keep treatment on track and comfortable.
Regular follow-up to ensure completion and prevent relapse.
Many patients begin feeling better within a few weeks, but stopping medication early can lead to serious problems. Completing the full course is one of the most important factors in complete recovery.
The infection can return.
Bacteria become harder to treat.
Longer, more difficult regimens.
Greater risk to those around you.
Comprehensive evaluation and management of pulmonary infections and respiratory diseases.
Focused investigations to identify the condition early and begin appropriate treatment.
Regular monitoring throughout the treatment journey.
