Talk to Pulmonologist / Lung on Pulmonologist Opinion Is Requestedn
Asking for Self, Male, 28 years old, Lahore
I was TB positive and got it treated back in 2013. It relapsed again in 2015 and treated once again. I want to know whether these scars can be detected in X-Rays? Can they be removed? I'm applying for visa and can it be cause of refusal? Should I or shouldn't tell about it during medical examination?

In some patients scarring due to cured TB may persist for lifetime. Patient from Bacteriological point of view has healed but XRAY will continue to show for lifetime.
please consult a pulmonologist for this purpose

Mostly old healed scars are present, telling old Tuberculosis, not possible to remove them.It is probably cause of visa refusal, especially Arab countries
