I have completed 3.5 months of Anti TB treatment. From last two days I am getting blood in while coughing. Recently my AFB Stain GeneXpert report came normal. Today my TB culture report came and doctor is saying it's not Normal. Can anyone please check my attached TB culture report and suggest is it something serious?

The culture does not show AFB growth at present. However it will require some more weeks of observation for final interpretation. Blood during coughing is not normal and needs further evaluation.
Next Steps
Consult a pulmonologist for further evaluation.
