A member asked:
Will a cured primary complex from 20 years ago show any lung scarring on x-rays?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Some primary TB infections leave scars in the lung that might show up on chest Xray, but not necessarily. Many (most?) people have entirely normal Xrays after primary TB.
