I will like to know if she is feeling better since beginning treatment of TB? If she has not been feeling better then she should be evaluated for possible multidrug resistance TB and treated accordingly. If she has been feeling better, I suggest you continue the treatment foe up to 6months minimum following the recommended treatment plan. PCR is too sensitive and would clearly not be negative shortly after starting treatment and that's why this treatment goes on for at least 6months.I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
