A member asked:
I was earlier diagnosed with tb and was on medication for the same. now after 3 months again my chest xray showed koches impression. can tb return soon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Koches??: Well i'm not familiar with that term. Suffice it to say...If you are talking about having "latent tb"...Just being exposed and having to treated with inh, Rifabutin or similiar meds for 3-6 months (depending on combo) the question is not that simple. After being tx for latent tb. Your chances of going on to develop pulmonary or other TB goes back down to that of the general population. (contin).
