A young girl RABIA, 23 years visited our clinic on 2nd July 2007. I was told by her relatives that she is suffering from PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS. An extremely weak, deadly pale, lethargic girl presented with history of weight loss, dry cough for two months. On examining patient, I figured out she was suffering from Superadded Respiratory tract Infection. Broad Spectrum Antibiotics were given; simultaneously she was advised to undergo few screening tests to exclude pulmonary kock’s. On her next follow up visit, she responded remarkably well and test reports for tuberculosis were negative.That was very cheerful moment for her family as their predictions were proved wrong. Again, she was treated on same lines along with hematanics and multivitamins to raise her Hb level.

Analysis and Family Response
On first visit her parents were very nervous as their daughter’s condition was getting worse and worse day by day. Moreover, they were misguided and apprehended of
PULMONARY KOCK’s fear. They had no resources to acquire medical aid; they had a sigh of relief when they saw that situation is being tactfully handled. Patient improved drastically, all her symptoms subsided and she came out of her miserable phase. COUNSELLING SESSIONS were done in which her morals was boasted and she was brought out of her depressive phase. Her relatives were strictly advised not to believe on layman stories. Her family was very thankful to see Rabia Happy and back to her lifeagain. Hence, not only adequate treatment is required but proper DIAGNOSIS at the proper time can give patient a new life with new hopes.
