A member asked:
Hi , i would like to clear something, my xray says "minimal koch infection" does it mean i have tuberculosis.? but i dont have cough or any symptoms
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probable TB: "Koch infection" is occasionally used as a synonym of tuberculosis. Many infections cause no symptoms, even if they cause an abnormal xray, and sometimes xrays show scarring from old infection, no longer active. However, even "minimal" TB or old infections normally are treated. Discuss with your doctor.
