A member asked:
Does every primary complex diagnosis cause scars on the lungs? is this lifetime or any lung scar can clear up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Primary complex: Not every primary complex leaves a lung scar seen on X-Ray. It usually takes some calcification or growth of granulation tissue to be seen. Some of them heal completely without Leaving any trace.
