Hi,Mj.Prado,
Welcome to HCM,
If you have under gone full treatment of pulmonary TB,then nothing to worry.
After cure of tb there is some fibrosis left behind and I do not think this will come in your way as this is normal phenomenon.
Go for blood reports which will give you that you are cured of the disease.
There is no medicine which can hide your old disease.
Ok and bye.
