A member asked:

Had previous tb,it was cured.but when i did apico xray,it says active tb.did sputum test, it was negative. should i be worried with the apico result?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: All results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, if you do not have symptoms, you may wait to repeat the x-ray in a few months to find out if there is any change. Inactive scars will remain unchanged.
