How is TB treated?

TB can be treated by taking treatment for 6 months. If the patient does not undergo treatment regularly and does not take medication every day, it will take longer to 9 months to 1 year of treatment. Prevention or control of TB can be done by immunizing with the BCG vaccine with a success rate of 50-70%. If you find someone suspected of having TB, what you can do is carry out a sputum examination and a chest examination via chest x-ray.
