Pulmonologist,  's  Response
He has bilateral bronchiectasis and a pneumonic consolidation.
It can be the result of either recurrent infection or some chronic disease process like tuberculosis.
I am sure he must be bringing out some amount of sputum, so get a GeneXpert test done to confirm/rule out tuberculosis. Also get a S. ace study doen along with some basic blood tests like CBC, Mantoux, ESR, alpha antitrypsin levels, Aerobic culture and an AFB culture
POST the reports
