I'm really worried because I've been having some trouble with my breathing and caught a cold, so my doctor had me get a CT scan. It says "no significant abnormality detected," but Im still feeling off. Can you help me understand what might be going on? Could there be something else causing my symptoms that's not showing up on the scan?

I'm a bit confused and worried after my recent tests. I had pleura fluid removed and the ADA test showed a result of 55, leading the doctors to say it's Tuberculosis. I'm trying to figure out if this means I have pulmonary tuberculosis or pleura tuberculosis since it's involving the pleura fluid. Also, my Gene Xpert test came back with "mycobacterium not detected." Can you help me understand what type of TB this might be and whether it means I have drug-sensitive or drug-resistant tuberculosis? I'd really appreciate some clarity on this.

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with phlegm for about a month now, but I don't have any other symptoms that make me feel like I'm sick. I've already talked to a local doctor, but I was hoping to get a second opinion on what might be going on. Any ideas?

Patient is advised x-ray chest pa view ,complete blood count,esr and sputum for AFB examination.
