It's been a year now on the anti-TB treatment, and I'm really hoping to understand how things are going. I've attached the chest X-ray report, and I'd love if you could take a look and let me know what it means. Do you think things are progressing well?

View allI'm really worried about my friend. Theyve had this cough for about a month now, but no fever. We got some test results back, and one of them says "sputum AFB stain positive" with "acid-fast bacilli seen," while the other test indicates "no pathogenic organisms were isolated after 18-24 hours of incubation." I'm confused about whether my friend actually has TB or not. Could you help me understand what these results mean?

I've got a few fibrotic lesions with fine calcification showing up in my lung fields on both sides. What could be causing this, and how do I go about treating it? Is this something I should be seriously worried about?
Fibrotic lesions with calcifications in the lungs often result from past infections like tuberculosis or fungal infections, or exposure to environmental irritants. They are typically not serious if stable and not causing symptoms but should be monitored with regular imaging and lung function tests. Consult your doctor to rule out any underlying conditions or active disease.
