Spine tb pus
I am 29 yrs old MTB patient.. tb infections are drug sensitive for 1st line. Checked several time using CBNAAT, gene xpert and culture.
Bilateral psoas abcess is there in spine. 125 ml and 4ml. After 6 months medicine pus has been reduced to 90ml and 0 ml. Currently I am under treatment. Dr suggested me to take medicine for 2 yrs.
Currently, I am having no problem clinically. Having normal weight and food intake is good.
Treatment completed 1yr 2month
Treatment remaining approx 1yr as per doctor advice.
Question: TB pus will go away by ATT only.?
I am worrying for that.

History is complicated. Follow according to your treating physician. If pus is minimal it will go away depending on sensitivity
