I've been dealing with a wet cough for the last three years, but I haven't noticed any other symptoms like fever, unexpected weight loss, or feeling sick generally. I'm really concerned whether this could be tuberculosis. Could you suggest what tests I should consider for diagnosing TB? Also, does the Quantiferon Gold TB test effectively diagnose TB with just one test?

yes can help and do CBNAAT

I'm struggling a lot with my recent diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis. I've got this stubborn cough that just won't go away, I can't seem to sleep well at night, and I keep running a low-grade fever. It's really frustrating because I can't taste food properlyeverything has this weird bitter taste. Since I know there's no cure for pulmonary fibrosis, I'm really hoping to find ways to manage these symptoms and get some relief. Could you please guide me on what steps I might take?

there's a treatment for fibrosis, kindly refer to physician

Is the Mantoux test the definitive way to confirm tuberculosis, or is there something else I should be aware of when it comes to diagnosing TB? I'm just trying to understand if there are other tests or steps involved in getting a proper diagnosis. Its all a bit confusing, and Im worried about whether one test is enough.

not confirmatory for active Tuberculosis
