Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Identification of microbiome networks and metabolic markers predictive of treatment outcomes in cachectic TB patients. Evidence supporting the efficacy of probiotics/prebiotics and IPA in accelerating recovery in TB patients. Generate a paradigm shift in TB management using microbiome-targeted strategies to improve recovery and reduce undernutrition. Timepoint: Outcome will be assessed for Microbiome profile at 15, 30, 60, 90, 180 days. For metabolomics and inflammatory at 3, 6 months. body composition will be assessed at 3, 6 months.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The outcomes in nutritional status (BMI) & the response to the diet & antitubercular treatment shall be documented at baseline & after six months (primary outcome). To document clinical parameters, BMI status, gut microbiota, & markers of inflammation.Timepoint: follow-up data shall be collected periodically after Day 15, Day 30, Day 60, & Day 90.
