Cough for more than 3 weeks
My father's mantoux test is positive but his sputum routine, culture and chest x-ray are normal. Doctor has recommended ct scan for chest. Will this test suffice or should I get CB-NAAT also done? Plz help

If he has cough for more than 2 weeks, and a fever for more than 2 weeks, significant weight loss, haemoptysis... Then go for CB-NAAT
