Instructions to WHAT? Is that a secret? Are we supposed to guess that you mean medication? Relapse after treatment sometimes happens. You know, you need to give more in-depth information. Did you have active or latent TB? For active TB, the standard course is 2 months of isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol followed by isoniazid and rifampicin alone for 4 months. For latent tuberculosis, the standard treatment is six to nine months of isoniazid alone. All treatment regimens have some relapse even if the treatment has been taken religiously with 100% compliance as you state you have done. This is information that was given to you by your doctor. It's even possible that you've re-infected and not relapsed. You absolutely need to return to your doctor if you haven't already done so.

that is the problem with TB and it scares me to death. they are encountering multi drug resistant tb now. it isn't your fault if you conformed to the isoniazid regimen and still have a problem. the tubercle bacillae are what they call spore forming. You just chase the organism into a shell when you treat it. Scary
