I had a friend who did just that. He had his oath ceremony a couple of weeks ago and needs to travel abroad next week. He called the passport agency's phone line for urgent service, had an in-person appointment a few days later, and passport in hand two days after that. The expedite fee is only $60 extra, don't bother with these agencies that charge you hundreds of dollars to expedite the processing. You must show proof of travel within 14 days, though. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/get-fast/passport-agencies.html

You tested positive for latent TB, which is very, very common. If you had any abnormalities on your x-ray they would have asked you to provide sputum samples for TB culture. If any of those samples were positive for TB it would have meant a diagnosis of active TB. That is when you would have had a problem and needed to be successfully treated before being allowed to immigrate to the US. Hep B is also very common, and in some people the infection is chronic, meaning they need to take medication to suppress the infection, potentially for the rest of their lives. But especially if they are on medication and their Hep B viral load is undetectable, they are not at high risk of transmitting the virus to others, and are not considered a public health threat. Remember, the primary goal of the medical evaluation prior to immigration is to make sure that the immigrant does not pose a threat to the public health, which usually means not being a carrier of a highly transmissible infectious disease, like active TB (or COVID-19). Once that threat has been addressed, meaning the infection is controlled and the person is not contagious, they are typically cleared for entry.

Chronic Hep B is not an exclusion. Even TB is not exclusionary, once the petitioner has been treated and is no longer infectious.
