Does X-ray Report Infiltrates In The Upper Lobe Mean Lung Infection?
hi, i have been infected with ptb last 2007, i took medication for 6months, and thereafter, everytime i will have my annual xray, the result will always be suspicious infiltrates in the right upper lobe, alv suggestion. Then after that, the result is consistent scarring or fibrosis. What I am worried is that, is it possible that i will be infected again with the disease?

Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns.
These are the old changes in lung parenchyma due to previous TB. just maintain a proper follow up with your pulmonologist.
Meanwhile stay calm .
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
