Scar secondary to TB will remain.. what needs to be seen is whether there is any radiological finding suggestive of a any recent activity.. If treated correctly along with good compliance on the part of the patient would ensure good to complete cessation of infective activity however some scarring will remain which has already happened secondary to disease activity..
