What does ptb mean? is it possible to have pneumonia and tb at the same time? doctor said to have another x-ray after taking clarithromycin for 7 days
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pulmonary TB: Pulmonary tuberculosis is TB in the lung, which could be inactive or active (the treatment is different for each condition). A person can have PTB and still get almost any other disease known to man. Having PTB does not prevent one from getting other diseases.
