Effects of Adjunct Omega-3 Long Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patient: an Early Bactericidal Activity and Inflammatory Trial

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the early bactericidal activity, early inflammatory response, and safety of omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) supplementation in adult patients (aged 18- 45 years) with newly diagnosed, bacteriologically confirmed drug-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis. The main questions it aims to answers are: * Does adjunct n-3 LCPUFA supplementation reduce the sputum culture time to positivity * Does it improve inflammatory markers and TB treatment outcomes compared to placebo Researchers will compare daily supplementation with \~2g n-3 LCPUFA (EPA and DHA ) to placebo (high linoleic sunflower oil) to determine effects on bactericidal activity, inflammation, and clinical outcomes. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to receive either n-3 LCPUFA or Placebo daily for 8 weeks with the intensive phase of TB treatment * Attend clinical visit baseline, and follow up visit mostly weekly for 2 months and then monthly for 4 months of the continuous phase of TB treatment * Provide blood, sputum and urine samples for biomarkers and metabolomic analysis * Undergo assessments of iron status, body composition and muscle strength
