Active TB.: If your diagnosis is confirmed by skin PPD test, sputum cultures, blood antibodies test, X-ray of the lung (if it's pulmonary form) or CT scan, than several anti-TB antibiotics would be prescribed for you, depending on the bacterial sensitivity test. The length of the treatment and amount of antibiotics your doctor should discuss with you during your appointment, because it vary.
