Brief Answer:
Seems like tuberculosis...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Cough of more than 3 weeks should be evaluated. And her treating doctors have ordered the necessary investigations. And as per the test results, her symptoms seem to be related to tuberculosis. She needs to be started on antitubercular medications for a period of at least 6 months. The treatment will be monitored by her physician.
As I see the tests are performed a month ago; has she seen her physician after the tests. What treatment is she on now?
