Hi, and thanks for your medical question on eHealth forum!

Irregular hazy infiltrates, positive tuberculin skin test and high ESR along with a positive CT scan of chest should all be done to confirm tuberculosis. This should be clinically correlated to low grade fever and persistent cough. If all these parameters match then it could be tuberculosis.

Even if it is, do not worry much. Within a week of starting medicines you will be fine and not contagious any more. Also after complete treatment you will be free of disease. However first get a confirmed diagnosis. Please discuss with your doctor. Hope this helps. Take care!
