TB diagnosis

2021-07-02 08:45:35
Hi, I was diagnosed with covid in January 2021. I did not have any trouble with breathing and my oxygen saturation remained normal. However, when I got the CT done, it suggested tuberculosis. It's been over 5 months now. I don't have any symptoms. No cough or weight loss. Do I still need to get any tests done?
