Means seeing doctor: Means seeing the doctor again to evaluate what kind of PTB (pulmonary TB, tuberculosis in the lungs) she has, meaning old versus active. The doctor will arrange further testing, and if the TB is active, will need treatment with several medications. Until cleared by the doctor as noncontagious, such a patient should consider herself as being contagious (thus needs to wear a mask, etc...).
