Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Scar in the lungs can be due to any insult like pneumonia or Tuberculosis or trauma. So scar represents healed, inactive tissue. For your problem, I advise you to consult pulmonologist and get done1. CT THORAX2. Bronchoscopy and BAD (Bronchi Alveolar Lavage) analysis for TB. If both are negative that means you are not having active tuberculosis and your scar is inactive.  Thus, you are not infectious.
