-Miliary TB is a serious condition; untreated miliary TB is almost always fatal.  About 25% of patients with miliary TB also have [[tuberculous meningitis]].  The standard treatment recommended by the [[World Health Organisation|WHO]] is with [[isoniazid]] and [[rifampicin]] for six months, as well as [[ethambutol]] and [[pyrazinamide]] for the first two months.  If there is evidence of [[meningitis]], then treatment is extended to twelve months.  The US guidelines recommend nine months' treatment.
