HI
Well come to HCM
Pulmonary tuberculosis is geographically distributed according to incidence of infection to populations, in some part of the world it is common, say panendemic while in some part of the world it is almost vanished, it is depends where are you from? or if you have visited such area where the chances of TB infection is likely, but with the proper treatment this cures completely only multidrug resistance is matters and this need to be ruled out first, hope this information helps, your further query would be appreciated and answered, take care.
