A member asked:
Chest x-ray showed fibronodular opacities in right upper & left mid zone. had tb 4 yrs back, are these scars from earlier tb ? can this be removed ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is a Complex Qu: This is a complex issue. Yes, TB can and often does cause fibrosis/nodular changes which typically regress partially or complete once a full course of treatment has been taken.. There is of course risk of recurrence of TB. So we have to find out if your lung changes are left over of the older TB or are these new changes(progression). For this you need to go back to the doctor who treated your TB.
