I'm a bit concerned after receiving my X-ray results, which mention something about bronchovascular bronchitis. Could you explain what that means? Also, what precautions should I be taking?

I'm feeling really worried and confused right now. My wife, who's a doctor, talked to a pulmonologist who checked my scan report and said it's definitely TB, but I'm having a hard time accepting this. I live a healthy lifestyle, don't smoke or drink, so I'm doubtful if it's true. I haven't done the CBNAAT or culture test again yet, and I'm really unsure about jumping into treatment right away. Do you think I should get another doctor's opinion first before starting TB treatment?

Yes,patient is advised ATT for 6 months .Avoid smoking and alcohol cessation is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about this pleural empyema situation. If there's a 100ml buildup, do antibiotics alone help clear it up, or would it definitely need to be drained? I've heard different things and I'm not sure what to expect.

antibiotics alone not be alone
