[diagnosis of] reactivated pulmonary tuberculosis in the basal/lower lobes
Explanation:
Compared with a "new" case. 1,040 refs for "reactivated tuberculosis":

We tentatively classified the patients with tuberculous pleuritis into primary or reactivated tuberculosis based on their radiographic characteristics, ...
www.chestjournal.org/cgi/content/full/129/5/1253

Patients with cavitary, fibrotic, or calcified lesions mainly in the upper lobe of the lung were classified as having reactivated tuberculosis. ...

Notification of New Active or Reactivated Tuberculosis Case
Reactivated Tuberculosis Case. Patient’s Last Name First Name Initial ... New Active or Reactivated Tuberculosis Case ...

As for "basal pulmonary lobes" - there are only 2 (tw) references on the entire Internet, and all authors appear to be non-native. So I think it's safer to phrase it in a way that totally accepted - i.e. "pulmonoary tuberculosis."

Explanation:
