Abstract
The research gives new therapeutic regimen to Tuberculosis. Despite of the fact being that the current regimen is a burden on liver functioning; most of these are highly hepatotoxic and increases serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) manifolds. In the backdrop of such a condition this clinical study has been done. Here 4 drugs has been selected and TB infection of a middle aged female patient was cured rapidly in one month who had hepatocellular changes. The regimen in this research has also showed significant improvement of liver functions post-therapy. This is about the “Mumbai Protocol” of tuberculosis management.
Keywords: Tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mumbai protocol, infection therapy
