Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs but can spread to other parts of the body. Without timely treatment, TB can become life-threatening. At Savera, we specialize in diagnosing and treating TB with personalized care tailored to each patient’s needs. Led by Dr. Meenu Vaid, we proudly serve the Morgan Hill and Bay Area communities with expert infectious disease care, offering cutting-edge treatment methods and compassionate support throughout the recovery process.
Our approach focuses on early detection, comprehensive evaluation, and long-term patient monitoring to ensure effective treatment and prevent complications. We stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in TB management, ensuring our patients receive the highest quality care.
Understanding the symptoms and risk factors associated with tuberculosis is crucial for early detection and prevention. If you or someone you know falls into these risk categories, we strongly encourage seeking medical evaluation.
Early diagnosis is key to successful TB treatment. At Savera, we offer advanced testing options to accurately diagnose and monitor TB:
Test Type | Purpose |
---|---|
Skin Test (PPD) | Detects TB exposure with a small skin injection |
Blood Test (IGRA) | Measures immune response to TB bacteria |
Chest X-ray | Identifies active lung infections and structural damage |
Sputum Test | Examines mucus for TB bacteria |
CT Scan | Provides detailed imaging for severe or complicated cases |
Treatment for tuberculosis requires a combination of antibiotics taken over several months to ensure complete recovery and prevent drug resistance. Our team at Savera, led by Dr. Meenu Vaid, provides:
Medication | Purpose | Duration |
Isoniazid (INH) | Kills TB bacteria | 6-9 months |
Rifampin (RIF) | Prevents bacterial growth | 4-6 months |
Ethambutol (EMB) | Stops bacterial spread | 2 months |
Pyrazinamide (PZA) | Targets persistent bacteria | 2 months |
Second-Line Drugs | Used for drug-resistant TB | Varies by case |
Regular check-ups, monitoring for relapse, and addressing any lingering effects of TB are part of our continued care program. With Savera’s support, you can confidently move forward, knowing your health remains a top priority even after active treatment ends. Our follow-up care is designed to answer queries such as “long-term TB care” and “tuberculosis relapse prevention”, ensuring you receive complete support beyond treatment.
