Hi guys, recently i do medical checkup on xray..
I went to Gulf Country and checkup here
My left lung have remarks with written as "Illdefined reticular opacities in left upper zone"
Then they suspect TB, they took my phlegm check..
After 3 weeks, result out written No H+ cough, no fever.
3AFB, genexpert were -ve, sputum culture await.
Need pulmonologist 2nd opinion to rull out active TB.
Then today i went to pulmonologist, he check my breath, blood pressure , heart rate.. he say normal.
Then took my blood sample , and he request HRCT scan.
In the report request he write " ? Interstitial lung disease ? Koch disease "
I barely read all these doctor writing..
i not understand on sputum culture await, i read some google it said meaning they check my sputum see got fungi or bacteria or not?
but they said genexpert were -ve.. meaning i might not have tb but maybe have some bacteria?
I read alot and driving me crazy, hopefully lyn have some expert can give me free opinion or some one have same scenario as me.
ILD can cause death and TB is cureable by medicine.. I am so worried now...
I not sure these doctor want to claim all my medical card or my health really got problem.. so far i have some small coughing sometimes because i catch cold..
sorry for the long essay.. no trolling plz
update: I asked the blood test, they took measure CBC, CRP, ESR and CREATININE. not sure what they trying to check.
My previous normal report also took this before, tomorrow will consult the doctor on this blood report
