For the first treatment of tuberculosis patients, his course of treatment is 6 months; for the re-treatment of tuberculosis patients, his course of treatment is 9 months; if it is multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients, his course of treatment is 18-24 months; if it is a multi-site tuberculosis, such as tuberculosis combined with vertebral body tuberculosis or tuberculosis combined with tuberculosis meningitis, the cycle of treatment is more than 1 year.
