ATT is usually taken for 6 months. After 2 months, pyrazinamide is stopped and other medications should be continued.
In your case case, i suggest you to repeat a CXR to look for the response and amount of remaining fluid. Also continue rifampicin, isoniazid and ethambutol for atleast 3 more months. You can stop pyrazimamide.

His gait was antalgic. His mri showed l5 s1 affected with epidural abscess. Mis bilateral decompression was done. They started him on att 3fdc (pyrazinamide 450 mg, rifampicin 225 mg, isoniazid 150 mg based on his weight 15.6 kg) and wysolone 25 mg (steroid prescribed for 1 month and gradually tapered and stopped at the end of 2 and a half months). After 3 months there was a recurrence in tb which spread to l4 and l3. To make the spine stable we have done instrumentation. Is this recurrence due to wysolone?

you should take akurit in the night at bedtime. only akurit will not suffice, you should add combutol and pyrazinamide to it. Consult online for detailed discussion.
