A patient of Tuberculosis remains contagious as long as his sputum or more correctly his phlegm contains Tuberculous bacilli. Such people are called "open" cases. Persons whose sputum or phlegm does not contain TB germs are called "closed" cases. They do not spread TB. Phlegm examination decides.Time limit of treatment is not the deciding factor. But generally it is about six weeks
