Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

It may be due to many reasons like tuberculosis,chronic industrial exposure,autoimmune diseases etc.
In your case,it is most likely due to Tuberculosis.It is supported by the fact that Quantiferon gold (TB) is positive.
Brain MRI report suggests that there is partial empty sella.It may be due to many reasons.
