Hi lybrate-user, Asthma per se is not a curable disease. But we can treat it to keep under control so that it doesn't affect your quality of life. TB is certainly curable. Acid alcohol fast bacilli is the bug which cause TB disease. Sputum negative for AAFB means you probably have no TB infection. Best wishes.

TB is curable and asthma can be controlled only. Smear negative means TB bacilli are not detected in given smear.
