Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I have read your query here regarding pulmonary tuberculosis.
* There are healed lung tissue and inter phase of lung lobules which show up as fibrosis in any x-ray following the completion of treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis.
* These fibrosis do not produce any of the symptoms in future, neither they need any treatment for that.
