Hi and thanks for the query
I am Dr. Alok and very pleased to be assisting you with your health questions today.
I am so sorry to hear about your wife,s infection. Brain TB is a curable condition, she needs to take medicines for 9 to 12 months or may be longer. But it is my strong advice to take medicines regularily as per prescription given by treating doctor after confirming it
Hope this helps and provides answers to your question.
If you have any further queries, please don’t hesitate to ask me again
I wish you good health, take care
