Once Tuberculosis Preventive Treatment (TPT) is initiated, the individuals will be monitored by the doctor for clinical and laboratory parameters as shown below:

  • Screening with 4 symptoms (4s) (cough, fever, night sweats and weight loss)
  • Any side effects 

If any of the signs/ symptoms of TB emerge, the person may be referred to the Drug-resistant Tuberculosis Centre (DR-TBC) for further evaluation of active TB/ DR-TB disease. Such persons may be subjected to Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) and Line Probe Assay (LPA) for diagnosis of TB and DR-TB and appropriately managed if found to have developed active TB/ DR-TB disease.
