Based on my CHEST PA result: Thick, linear density is seen in the left upper lung. then the IMPRESSION IS: PTB, Left Upper Lung. Activity Undetermined. --- What does it mean ? Am I fit to work? but the doctor adviced me to take a sputum test. Thank you!

Hello,
Your X-ray report is highly suggestive of pulmonary tuberculosis and needs to be confirmed by a sputum test. Even you have TB, you are fit if you are able to work. Just don't miss your drugs, have nourishing high protein diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
