Directly observed therapy certainly helps to improve outcomes in MDR-TB and should be considered an integral part of the treatment of MDR-TB. Response to treatment must be obtained by repeated sputum cultures (monthly if possible).
But some TB infections need to be treated for up to 2 years. Tuberculosis is either latent or active. 1  Latent TB means that you have the TB bacteria in your body, but your body's defenses (immune system) are keeping it from turning into active TB.2  Active TB means that the TB bacteria are growing and causing symptoms.ulmonary TB (in the lungs) is contagious. It spreads when a person who has active TB breathes out air that has the TB bacteria in it and then another person breathes in the bacteria from the air. An infected person releases even more bacteria when he or she does things like cough or laugh.
