Ptb Minimal

in my chest xray results hearts are within normal limits in size nodular infiltrates are noted in the right upper lobe. rest of the lung are clear. impression : chronic inflammatory lung disease compatible with ptb my doctor suggested to undergo sputum test which is acid fast bacilli but the result is negative.. Does i have an active ptb? ## In my previous xray result the finding is Left lobe minimal fibrosis. Then, i go to pulmo specialist and advice me for another xray. The result is chronic inflammatory lung disease compatible with ptb. But i do not undergo for sputum test, is it really 100% that i have TB even without sputum test? Is it xray is enough to say that i have TB?

Hi guys i was diagnosed for minimal ptb and i was very shocked when the doctor told me so. Because I'm a bodybuilder but at the same time works at night. I'm taking my meds now for nearly 2months and i'm so depressed because i really had a massive weight loss like can you imagine that from 130lbs goes down to 119 :( i was so depressed angry i can't think straight. Hopefully after 2months my doctor said he will change my meds to a lighter one. Any suggestions?

How long must i use the fixcom-4 as treatment for my minimal ptb? ## I am suffering from gas in my stomach, always my stomach is bloated. I have tried omez 20 mg and also omez 40 mg. Still no improvement in my condition. Please suggest a proper medicine. I am suffering from the above said condition for almost 8 to 9 years. ## How long can I take my fixcom 2? I don't know how many months I should be taking this for and would appreciate any feedback.
