Define Protein requirement during tuberculosis

Protein : Achronic infection  is marked by a prolonged duration of fever. This leads to wasting of muscles, increased nitrogenous loss and  a subsequent decrease  in  serum albumin levels. Thus, the chronic stage of the disease needs to be supported with a high protein intake. A level of 1.2  to 1.5 g protein body weight/day should  be given. Emphasis should be on energy and protein  dense foods coupled with high biological  value of protein rich sources to favour its  effective utilization.
