My recent medical examination shows inflammated lymph node in the CT scan. The tuberculin skin test and IGRA test came out to be positive, however Sputum smears and cultures are negative. I've had left lower lobe pneumonia in 2019. Is this due to that previous pneumonia infection or a case of Latent TB? How long it can take to be treated?
