A member asked:

I have patchy opacity in the upper left of my lungs due to minimal ptb ? what can i do doc?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Specialist: An infectious disease specialist or pulmonologist with experience in diagnosing and treating tb would be best to consult. He/she will also review the chest xray with the radiologist who interpreted your films and then recommend any further testing,treatment, or follow-up if deemed advisable.
