<div style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">''Rajayakshma'' is a syndrome consisting of diseases associated with wasting (''kshaya'') of various tissues including ''[[rasa]]'' and ''[[ojas]]'' causing immunodeficiency resulting in opportunistic infections, most common being tuberculosis. The term ''rajayakshma'' has been used interchangeably with tuberculosis. It is potentially fatal wasting disease that "consumes" the body. This chapter describes etio-pathogenesis, signs and symptoms and principles of management. Groups of signs viz. a group of three signs, six signs and eleven signs are enlisted to designate variety of ''srotasa'' (systems) involved with increasing severity of disease. The complications and prognosis are elaborated to categorize the disease as one of the dreadful diseases. Treatment with modern antitubercular medicines reduces mortality in patients with tuberculosis (cure rate 11.42% and the death rate 40.9%) but when combined with Ayurvedic treatment there was significant improvement (cure rate 41.3% and the death rate 3.8%). </p>
