    Used to happen all of the time but with today's medicine, it's not as common as it once was. Have your husband continue with his medication and the best of luck to him......

    It is vital to continue the medication, the bacterium that causes TB is becoming resistant to the antibiotics. This disease could make a big comeback if people abandon their medication.
