Infectious phase depends upon the burden of the disease. MDR treatment is for 12 to 18 months. Should do further investigation to rule out Infevtivity

Usualy after the intensive phase of the treatment, that is 4-5 months after you can be non contagious, usualy we do a repeat sputum afb to confirm, if consecutively 2 months sputum afb is negative, seroconversion has taken place.
