[|Human|] hi i have sputum test which report that no acid fast bacilli seen i want to know what is the means. i have ESR test which is 35i have cough and two time i have blood with coughing it was quite enough i have treatment of TB 5 years ago now plz tell me that what i have to do
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. TB bacteria are also known as acid fast bacilli. Since your sputum report is negative for acid fast bacilli, you are not having tuberculosis at present. You had tuberculosis in the past. So there must be fire calcified lesions in your lung due to healing of previous tb. These lesions can cause hemoptysis (blood in sputum) due to friction from coughing. So take antihistamine and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, you will be alright with these
