@dgldrhyde Indeed, many human pathogens can make lessions or symptoms mimicking those or tuberculosis like Hystoplasma, Coccidioides or Pneumocystis, & although Mycobacterium tuberculosis is very a common infectous agent involved in pulmonary tuberculosis is not the only mycobacteria involved in this disease

@ershad85 You're asking me for a sputum negative lab test... to diagnosis tb you can use a Chest X ray, CLINIC, use a PPD test or even you can use PCR for tuberculosis, lung biopsy, Batec 460 tb... If all result negative, MAYBE ITS NOT A TB... it can be a fungus like Coccidioidomycosis, you know, the endemic spore at the south of US and north of Mexico, and some places of south america, hystoplasmosis, lung cancer, linfoma, pneumonia, etc... also you can practice an ELISA blood test for HIV...
