Is Montoux Positive but X-Ray Negative, and Sputum Test Inconclusive: Do I Have TB?
Patient's Query
Sir mujhe montoux positive aaya hai but x-ray me abhi TB show nhi hua h or TB confirm ke liye sputum test me balgam bhi nhi aa rha hai to kya mujhe TB hai ya nhi
Answered by Dr. Shweta Bansal
TB bacteria encountered in the body results in a positive Montoux test, but the test does not determine TB disease. Your lungs appear normal on the chest X-ray and sputum test, which indicates that you may not have active TB disease. On the other hand, it is suggested along with a pulmonologist the more specific diagnosis and administration of treatment.
