In the case of TB, the bacillus is never truly eliminated from the body, even after "cure" of pulmonary TB, the usual result of primary infection. There remain viable bacilli inside granulomas formed by the cell-mediated arm of the immune system to limit any spread of infection. Any subsequent event that causes an inhibition of cell-mediated immunity, like chronic long term steroid therapy or any immune compromising disease, like AIDS or certain lymphomas, will put the patient at risk of re-activating the infection. Once the granulomas break down and TB disseminates from the lung to other sites in the body, it's big trouble. When it happened to Eleanor, there were only one or at most two anti-TB drugs available to treat her.

Sorry, this has nothing to do with TubeDIY, I know.
