Ang PTB po ay pulmonary tuberculosis meaning may impeksyon po ng organismo na TB sa baga. Ang binabanggit nyo po bang negatibo kayo na test ay test sa plema? If yes, mas mainam na kayo po ay magpa Gene xpert (another test sa plema) na mas accurate. Lalo na kung kayo po ay may sintomas ng TB tulad ng pag ino more than 2 weeks, paglalagnat lalo na sa gabi, pagpapawis ng labis sa gabi, dugo sa dura or plema. Ang gene xpert naman po ay libre sa mga TB DOTS center
