Relapse of TB during treatment

2024-03-23 17:45:23
My wife was diagnosed with Lungs TB in August -2023. NTEP treatment started in August.  In January 2024, symptoms of TB re appeared and a Lymph node appeared in FNAC , again TB detected in the node. Sputum test performed and results were negative. In chest Xray also TB seems reduced. In the blood test CRP-41. Should we start an intense phase of medicine again ??? What should be the line of treatment now
