The initial TB infection was treated and if would be helpful to identify the drugs used during your childhood. Did you have a positive chest x ray or was your chest x ray negative at the time. TB may recur and if you are concerned-watch for symptoms including cough, sputum production and weight loss with your PCP. A follow up TB test and chest radiograph may be indicated.
