Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the TB can be cured with correct regular treatment.Relapse is common in those who have taken irregular treatment.The treatment is based on the category of patient.The TB can affect various organs in the body apart from lungs.If the reproductive organs are effected then the infertility might be the problem.It might also cause miscarriage.Yes certain medicines given in usual treatment are not given during pregnancy.Completion of course of TB treatment results in clearance of infection.You can consult pulmonologist for physical examination and relevant blood tests to know about the clearance of infection.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
