The organism which causes this (Tuberclosis) infection is called Mycobacterium tuberculi.

They are readily present in our daily surrounding and when any of the organ or body cells comes to the lower immunity status then such type of makes us suffer.

The organism already present in the body can travel from one place to another and their is no doubt in that.. hence it can also spread if not been medicated properly.

As now when you are over with your medication you should continue yourself some immunity booster like Chyavanprash for couple of months..
You can prefer to Unjha Rajwadi's Chyavanprash.

Hope this is satisfactory...
