I am 29 years old. I have had Hemoptysis 5-6 times in last 1 and half years. All my TB tests be it AFB, GEN-XPERT, CULTURE are negative. Only CT scan shows possibility of TB. What could be it?

I think it's better to get a bronchsocopy done to confirm whether you have tb or not. Rather than making guesses its better to do the test and confirm.

Sputum negative and Radiology features positive could still be TB. Knowing your other complaints will be helpful: associated fever, weight loss, loss of appetite, cough, description of CT features, any history in past.
