Hi,
Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection and totally curable.
One year treatment should be adequate. Discuss with your doctor for multi drug resistant TB
It can be dormant in body for life or get reactivated once the immune system is down.
Improvement of immune system with nutritional diet and exercise is important.
Immunodeficiency diseases can reactivate the disease.
However, there is no terminology of omipital TB, check the correct terminology and get back.
Any further queries, happy to answer again.
