Regarding your question

The most commonly used diagnostic tool for tuberculosis is a simple skin test,
If you've had a positive skin test, your doctor is likely to order a chest X-ray or a CT scan.
If your chest X-ray shows signs of tuberculosis, your doctor may take samples of your sputum — the mucus that comes up when you cough. The samples are tested for TB bacteria.
what is the treatment of TB
Many antibiotics are used to treat TB, such as: isoniazid and rifampicin.
Treatment may vary from one to several years.
The treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis is approximately six months and is used in many antibiotics.
Four antibiotics are given to contain rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol in the first two months.
In the last four months, rifampicin and isoniazid are given only with the possibility of adding ethambutol as an alternative in case of resistance to isoniazid in the last four months.
If resistant tuberculosis is detected, treatment is recommended for 18-24 months using at least four active antibiotics
