3 months history is more in favour of PTB. Advised sputum microscopy for AFB and if sputum is negative for AFB than CBNAAT test is to be done.
Rt lower zone lung heterogeneous opacity with costophrenic angle obliterated. H/o 3 month increases esr goes in favour of tuberculosis.
The x-ray looks more like left postero-anterior oblique view. There is necrotising pneumonia getting complicated as lung abcess In the right lower lobe.( dt: 25/1/17).
There are soft fluffy infilterates in right lower zone with a cavity.. Taking into account long standing history of fever in the patient Sputum should be sent for AFB detection. Besides pt should also be investigated for any immunocompromised state giving rise to lower zone tb.(diabetes,HIV,immunosupressents,long term systemic steroids). CECT thorax and FOB should also be done to rule out any obstructive lesion.
Sputum for AFB,PT has scoliosis. If AFB negative, CBNAAT. If both negative, Hrct Thorax.
