A member asked:

Ill defined densities seen in the upper right lobe impression:suggestive ptb,upper right lobe..what does that mean?how to cure it and how many months?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pulmonologist: TB does have a propensity to involve the upper lobes and is suspected as a cause of these chest xray findings. A pulmonologist is best qualified to review the xrays, evaluate you,order appropriate tests and then discuss diagnosis and treatment options if active tb is documented.
