Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Almost all lung infection (specially tuberculosis) heal with either fibrosis or calcification or both. Very rarely complete resolution is seen. So fibrotic scar lesions after tuberculosis are common after tb. They will remain as it is throughout the life. No treatment is required and hence not available for these scars because these are inactive, non-infectious lesions. No Chat Doctor.  For visa purpose, we need to prove that these lesions are not active infectious lesions. For this, you need to consult pulmonologist and get done CT thorax with Contrast and Bronchoscopy with BAD analysis. If both these are negative for active tuberculosis then no need to worry about tuberculosis. By this you can argue with visa authority about not having active infectious disease. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
