[|AI|]  Hi, welcome to our site. I am Chat Doctor, MD. Read your query. That is a very significant question and I appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your queryMiliary TB is a form of tuberculosis that involves the entire body. All the systems of the body are affected in this condition. The lungs, heart, stomach and intestines, and even the bones can get involved in this condition. There is a possibility that the TB bacteria survived in her brain. The TB bacteria can form small focus of infection in the brain called tuberculous. Or they can cause a generalized infection called TB meningitis. The most common manifestation of the meningitis is seizures and altered sensorial. The TB meningitis, may be treatable if the patient is not immunocompromised or if the other systems hold out. Besides the bacteria should be susceptible to the antibiotics given. Yes, in a world full of antibiotic resistant bacteria, even TB bacteria are getting resistant to antibiotics and these are harder to kill. A suitable culture sensitivity may help diagnose the type of bacteria. If she gets effects of the medicine and starts getting better, chances are she will heal completely. Monitor her liver function tests hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other, so I can be of help further.
