If you have any symptoms of tuberculosis like chronic cough,loss of weight ,loss of appetite , altered bowel habits ,then would suggest tb or if you arin contact with a tuberculosis patient then you are probably having TB, in case of contact you need to take TB prophalaxis.If you are infertile or bad obstertic history may be because of Tb ,however you TB gold is negative so the chances are less.
