xray chest report you mentioned is probably in abbreviation . The person who have written the report may well understand what is this abbreviation for ?
but standard form PTB usually mentioned for pulmonary tuberculosis .
if it is pulmonary tuberculosis , then you have to consult imediately to your doctor to start treatment otherwise the people you are in close contact may be infected if the disease is in active stage .
