Hello
As this patient is coughing and also having blood ( most probably with cough , not in vomits ) .
As patient were also having tuberculosis , so all these symptoms may be due to these possibilities , these include:
1 Multi-Drug-Resistant-tuberculosis ( popularly known as MDRTB) , as this is the main cause of blood during coughing as I have seen in my so many patients.
2 The next possibility may be bronchiectasis ( as mentioned by you ) . There is abundant amount of expectoration associated with blood .
3 Lung carcinoma , diagnosis can be confirmed by X ray and MRI .
There are so many big hospitals in Banaras ( BHU ) ,so the best way is to consult a "CHEST & TUBERCULOSIS " specialist or "PULMONOLOGIST".
If proper treatment is to be taken this is not serious , so please consult as mentioned above.
Good luck.
