hello sir in 2003 iwas diagnose of ptb.my sputum was negative and my chest x-ray was read as fibrous densities found on my upper left lung.after 6 monts of treatment my chest x-ray was clear.after a year i got a chest x-ray was the same when i was diagnosed of pyb but my body isnt suffering from any signs of sickness.up to this time the chest x-ray was the same.one doctor at a laboratory said to me that maybe it was a scar.can it be cured?what can i do?
Thanks for your question on Healthcare. I can understand your concern. Almost all tubercular lung lesions heal by fibrosis or calcification. They form permanent Scar on lungs. These scars are inactive, noninfectious lesions. They are seen lifelong. No treatment is required hence available for these scars as they are inactive and non-harmful. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
