Thanks for your question on Practo.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the CT report you have attached.
Yes, bronchoscopy and BAL (bronco alveolar lavage) analysis should be done to rule out tubercular infection.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
