Can TB be cured

Answer 1

Yes, TB is curable. The standard "short" course treatment for TB is isoniazid, rifampicin (also known as rifampin in the United States), pyrazinamide, and ethambutol for two months, then isoniazid and rifampicin alone for a further four months. The patient is considered cured at six months (although there is still a relapse rate of 2 to 3%). For latent tuberculosis, the standard treatment is six to nine months of isoniazid alone.

Answer 2

There is no cure for tuberculosis. There is, however, a vaccine for it. Actually, there is a treatment for the most common form of TB (pulmonary tuberculosis). Pulomnary TB is treated with a batery of four medications: isoniazid (Laniazid, Nydrazid), rifampin (Rifadin, Rimactane), pyrazinamide (pms-Pyrazinamide, Tebrazid) and ethambutol (Myambutol) - over at least a six month period.
