Hello



Welcome to the HealthcareMagic

You are in category 1 of tuberculosis.

So after completion of AKT-4 kit now you have radiological clearance of lesion.

So it suggest improvement and now you can be free from TB.

Repeat sputum AFB examination after completion of therapy



Hope your concern is solved



Take care



Regards
