Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
*Bronchitis with TC 3500 is not absolute indication of TB
*Diagnosis of TB has various parameters not just fever of 15 days with this X-
ray finding confirm TB .
*According to your Physician`s evaluations he may require further
confirmatory tools as Sputum AFB , ELISA or else depending upon clinical
scenerio.
Hope this clears your doubts .

Regards dear take care of him.
