What does this means, i was not healed for my 6 mos therapy or medications? Pls advise and help me, im worried for my health now. im 60 years old, height is 5 wight is 57.8
[|AI|]  Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Any lung insult whether TB or pneumonia or trauma can cause scar tissue. In lungs healing occurs by1. Fibrosis2. Calcification3. Rarely complete resolution. So on chest x-ray it will look as fibrotic scar.The same is happening in your case. Your previous TB infection is healed in fibrous scar by six months treatment. So your present x-ray is showing fibrolinear densities in same area. So no need to worry at all Asia is inactive, scar tissue. It is not active infection.  So you will not need any treatment.
