I understand your concern for this.I routinely see many patients with the same query. I follow these protocol.1. CT thorax with contrast. As CT gives more idea about lung parenchyma.2. Bronchoscopy and BAL analysis for AFB.If both of these are normal than you can assure the job authority that you are not suffering from TB.So consult pulmonologist and discuss these things with him.
