Hello It to too early to conclude tuberculosis. You may need lordosis view of chest X-ray. This special view for apical regions helps in better assessment because apical area is covered by ribs, clavicle etc. Infiltrates may be due to pneumonitis, tuberculosis etc. Empirically this condition need broad spectrum antibiotics. If findings persists then you may need further work-up for tuberculosis. You need immediate evaluation as it may be contagious. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
