Hello,
I had gone through your query and understand your concern.
Short a answer: Usually it takes 6 months.
Detailed answer: Thanks for asking on HCM.
The treatment for an active tuberculosis is given for 6 months. Anti-Tuberculosis drugs are given for 6 months. Once this course is completed, tests will be repeated to know whether TB is cured or not. Depending on this treatment duration may continue even after 6 months or stopped.
Hope this helps.
If you have any other queries, feel free to ask.
Regards,
Dr.Prathap Kumar
