I have been diagnosed to have ptb about 4 yrs ago... I undergone treatment for 6 months, now I went to the doctor to have physical check up and my x ray revealed that I still have that disease, when asked them about it, its just a scar they said but how would I tell that to my future employer if ever theyll see that diagnosis in my x ray result? what is the best thing for me to do now? thanks a lot and God bless!
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have history of pulmonary tuberculosis, and you have taken treatment for 6 months. Now there is scar in the lung. It is very common with primary tuberculosis. It calcifies and produce scar and calcification. However, it is clearly seen from the x-ray that the lesion is due to scar and not active disease. So no need to worry about that. Just be relaxed. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
