Hi doctor! My brother is currently suffering from tuberculosis and has been treated for 6 months. Recently, he appeared to have symptoms of a heart attack, or had difficulty breathing, unable to breathe. The doctor asked me what to do now to make my brother better

The disease caused by the bacteria Tuberculosis (TB) usually affects the lungs but can also affect other organs in the body. If left untreated, TB can be fatal. In pregnant women, TB can have serious effects on both the mother and the fetus.

People who have successfully treated TB are still at high risk of relapse or reinfection. Identifying risk factors and symptoms of recurrent pulmonary TB can help target screening and post-treatment care.
