Diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis.
- Suspect Tuberculosis was examined for 3 sputum specimens for two days.
The main diagnosis is made if Tuberculosis is found in the result of AFB. Other checks, such as :
- Chest X-ray.
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis culture.
- Sensitivity tests can be used to support diagnosis as indicated.
- The diagnosis should not be based on chest radiograph only (it does not always show a characteristic picture of lung tuberculosis and does not indicate disease activity).
