currently i am in the 3rd month of treatment using the 4 basic antibiotics and did a sputum test recently and my doctor said the results said there was no difference in the numbers of tb bacteria than in the beggining (didnt decrease at all) so she says she is going to talk to a specialist to see what to do. what does this mean? why isnt the bacteria decreasing?

Are the symptoms subsiding and did you have any symptoms beforehand? Your doc is most likely concerned about "resistance" of the baccilus to the current medication. Also you may have a weakened immune system, or other medical conditions (do you?) complicating TB treatment. That's why your doc wanted to talk to a specialist.

TB is becoming increasingly drug resistant. Your doctor may end up increasing the length of time you are on the drugs and/or try stronger doses
