good prognosis
as there is standard treatment of medicines and these are minimum medicines
and course can be minumum 6 months to 9 months
as the treatment is continues the disease become clear mycobacteria of tb are killed and patient had good prognosis 100%
as the tb is in node there are less chances of being contageous as chances are more in open tb where the bacteria fall out through mucus and cough
