الإجابة: A. Sputum AFB
A patient from an endemic area (Nigeria) with a productive bloody cough, weight loss and upper-lobe bronchial breathing has suspected active pulmonary TB. The diagnostic test is sputum AFB smear (with culture). HIV testing is recommended for all TB patients, but it does not diagnose TB. CT chest does not confirm TB.

ليش صح
In a symptomatic patient with suspected pulmonary TB, the diagnosis is made by sputum AFB (PPD and IGRA are only for latent TB screening).

CT chest only shows imaging findings (e.g. thick-walled cavities, tree-in-bud). Active TB is diagnosed by microbiology: direct visualization (smear), culture or genetic detection.

ليش غلط
All patients with TB should be tested for HIV, but this is an associated-disease screen; HIV serology does not diagnose TB.
