Suffering from fever and severe cough for six months, the patient consulted his doctor for treatment. The doctor prescribed medicines and advised blood test, cough test and X-ray. There was an impression of taint on the right side of chest. Therefore, the doctor prescribed ATT medicines.
The patient did not get any relief; instead, his condition worsened. He visited another doctor at a health centre. Another X-ray was performed; it did not report any sign of tuberculosis.
