In our setting, the cough, the fever, the weight loss—they look the same, and TB is what comes first to mind and medicine kit. We must treat the tiger in front of us, not the rare shadow in the jungle. My own stethoscope hears a thousand TB stories, but sarcoidosis? Only from old textbooks. Every rupee for a fancy test is a rupee not spent on TB medicines for three other patients.
