Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
In an appropriate clinical setting, a chest x-ray may be used to diagnose pulmonary tuberculosis. However, the radiologic presentation may be confusing at times with a pneumonia especially in primary pulmonary tuberculosis.I will advise you see the Doctor for a sputum exam before concluding.
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
