I had PTB before and i took 6 months medication and according to my pulmonologist, it is a scar.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Your pulmonologist is correct. It is scar tissue. Any lung insult in lung either tuberculosis or pneumonia or trauma, heal by either of the following mechanism.1. Fibrosis2. Calcification.3. Both together fibrocalcified lesions.4. Rarely complete resolution. Fibrosis is the most common amongst all. But anyone can be present. Since you had Tuberculosis in past and completed anti TB treatment, the lesions must be healed by now and gives fibrocalcified appearance. It is dead tissue so known as scar. It will remain as it is throughout the life. So need to worry much for this. You are not having active, infectious tuberculosis.
