Hello
Thank you for aaking in HCM.
First this last time i think that the lung specialist have done the diagnosis of recurent TB,i hope.It is very important to be sure that it is a TB again and what is the reason that tb is come back?
If the treatment was the right one and you have taken it regulary till or maybe you might have any other diseases not known yet or may we are in a case of MDR tb.
You have to go to the specialist again.
Thank you
