My husband suffering from tuberculosis how much time it will take treatment, is it curable or not?

Takes a long time: Tuberculosis is such a slow growing germ that it takes quite a long time to kill it off. Treatment ranges in the 6m to 1yr timeframe. Depending on his strain, more than one drug may be necessary for a cure but cure is expected. Failure to comply with the treatment protocal can alloe a resistant strain to emerge & may prolong the duration of rx.

If Pulmonary only: If the airway TB cultures indicate that the bacteria is not resistant, the infection may be treated with a standard protocol. The protocol used should be discussed with your physician. Typically multiple drugs are used for several months. The American Lung Association can also provide you with valuable information.
