Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM. Old TB Lesion usually heal by fibrosis and seen as hazzy infiltrate. But it is not suggestive of active infection. But since you are facing some legal problems I guess, I advice you to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. CT Thorax as it gives much more idea about activity of lesion.
2. Bronchoscopy and BAL analysis for TB.
If both of these are negative for TB, you can assure authorities that you are not having active TB infection and you are not spreading disease.
