Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
Primary complex is due infection by tuberculosis for the first time.
It is seen in lungs on x-Ray .
It is treated with INH and Rifampicin for 6 months.
If not treated it may progress to progressive primary complex,plural effusion or cavity and ultimately leads to death.
Hope this rely is OK for you.
Please feel free to ask further queries if any.
