I'm a bit confused about these HRCT scans. Are an HRCT chest and HRCT lungs the same thing, or do they look for different issues? I'm trying to figure out if they cover different parts of the body or serve different purposes. Could you explain this to me? I'm feeling a bit anxious and want to understand what's going on.

I'm a bit worried because I was diagnosed with pulmonary TB about two months ago and was put on akt 4 treatment. After staying on the meds for two months, my latest AFB test came back negative and my X-ray looks good, so that's a relief. But here's what's bothering me: I occasionally feel kind of feverish like my body feels warm, but when I check my temperature with a thermometer, there's no fever. Is this something normal after being on TB treatment?
Yes episodes of fever are common during the treatment, continue the treatment for a minimum period of 6 months and eat healthy.

I'm dealing with a dry cough and just found out my blood SGPT level is 60.5. I'm really worried and wondering if there's any link between this and bronchovascular lung disease. What should I be aware of?
Your SGPT level of 60.5 indicates mild liver stress, which might be unrelated to your dry cough. However, a persistent dry cough can sometimes hint at bronchovascular issues or lung conditions, which could indirectly affect overall health. It's best to consult a doctor for a detailed evaluation and management plan.
