hi doc, my friend got her chest apicolordotic result and it said she had a fibrohazed infiltrates seen in the right upper lobe compatible with PTB of undetermined activity? does she needs to take the isoniaziz, rifampicin, ethambuthanol. she fears she might relieve from work. hope to here from you. thanks
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion she should undergo CT THORAX and Bronchoscopy and BAD (Bronchi Alveolar Lavage) analysis for TB, to determine activity of the lesion. No need to give prophylactic anti Tb Chat Doctor. As fibrotic lesion is seen mostly after healing from old infection. So maybe she is having only scar lesion and not active lesion. So no need to give anti Tb
