Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern. You are positive for tuberculosis.PCR is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of tuberculosis. If you are positive for it than you are surely positive. There is no need for second opinion. In my opinion you are positive for tuberculosis, please visit nearby doctor and start the AKT (Anti Koch treatment) or ATT (Antituberculosis treatment). Glad to answer your further concern contact me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.  Thank you, ChatDoctor
