Hello good day my husband and i had chest x ray and it says, for him persistent stable right upper lung fibrotic and nodular. Tb residuals noted..he did not even had a tb even when we got married 9 yrs ago, why is it so?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your concern, The fibrosis is stand for healed area, the tissue which were infected in past now healed and left the scar tissue, infected means infection of bacterial, viral, fungal, and just not the TB, your lung fibrosis could be due to TB because you had it your husband also detected the fibrosis but it may be due to some other infection if he had not a history of tb in past, hope this would clear your doubt have nice day.
