Can I do a CT test and say that it is tuberculosis?

CT generally refers to CT scanning. Usually, CT scans cannot directly determine whether you have tuberculosis.

1. Yes

If the patient has symptoms such as cough and sputum production, accompanied by uncomfortable symptoms such as low-grade fever and night sweats, it may be due to tuberculosis. At this time, the auxiliary diagnosis is carried out by chest X-ray examination and blood routine examination, and the results will be relatively accurate.

2. No, you cannot

1. Chest X-ray: Chest X-ray is an imaging examination method that can observe lung lesions, such as pulmonary nodules, pleural effusion, etc.However, it is not possible to determine whether tuberculosis is present or not.

2. Blood routine examination: Blood routine examination is to detect the count of white blood cells and neutrophils in the blood by drawing blood for laboratory tests, so as to determine whether there is an infection in the body. Pulmonary tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, which has symptoms such as fever, fatigue, night sweating, and weight loss.
