A member asked:
I had t.b which caused pulmonary fibrosis in my upper left lungs. will it have future implications?

Depends: That depends on the severity of the scarring and the severity depends on how long the TB was present before it was treated. Ask your doctor how bad it is and ask for pulmonary function testing if more than mild.
