Hi doc! after my x-ray the findings is consider ptb on both upper lungs..but dont have any symptons right now, because I have no cough and my appetite is good..but last 2013 i have been diagnosed ptb and undergo a six months treatment. I am ok now because i have a good appetite and working already.
The findings on chest X ray must be that of old healed pulmonary Kochs. Active Kochs generally appears as cavitatory lesion or ground glass opacities.Healed one appear fibrous lesion or nodularities.Also the present Xray needs to be compared with Xray of year 2013 You need to take the consultation from both radiologist and internal medicine specialist in this regard. If you donot have fever,cough,loss of appetite and working normally there is less chance you have any active infection. Maintain immunity and well being by adequate healthy diet,regular exercising.Dont skip meals.
Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask any more doubt.
