Hi, obscured hazy densities in the upper right lobe, apicolordotic is suggested. Is it considered ptb? Thank you
Hello.
Obscured hazy densities in the upper right lobe can be a sign of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), but they can also be caused by other respiratory conditions.
The diagnosis of PTB is usually made based on a combination of symptoms, clinical examination, and diagnostic tests such as sputum culture, chest X-ray, or CT scan. A chest X-ray alone cannot confirm or rule out the diagnosis of PTB, but it can be an important tool for detecting abnormalities in the lungs that may suggest the possibility of TB.
Therefore, it is essential to consult a medical professional who can evaluate your symptoms and perform a thorough physical examination and diagnostic tests to determine the underlying cause of the hazy densities in your upper right lobe.
