Hello doctor, This is to request a second opinion on whether I have TB? I have attached the x-ray and other test reports (hematology, AFB, etc.). Kindly suggest.
Hello. I have seen the reports. (attachment removed to protect patient identity).  Report -1 shows SGOT (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase), SGPT (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase), raised that means your liver function test is not normal and has low potassium levels, so you need to supplement potassium. Report-2 X-ray suggestive of pulmonary Koch's pathology (TB). Report -3 Sputum for AFB (Acid-fast bacilli) is negative. This is a test for TB, but this does not exclude TB as it can be false. Report-4 Hemoglobin is low, ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) is raised, this is suggestive of infection inside the body. Report-5 USG (ultrasound) suggestive of stones inside the gallbladder. Conclusion: In my opinion you have TB and you must start taking ATT (anti-tubercular treatment). If you have further questions, do follow-up.
