Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Scar in the lungs can be due to any insult like pneumonia or Tuberculosis or trauma.
So scar represents healed, inactive tissue.
For your problem, I advice you to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. CT THORAX
2. Bronchoscopy and BAL ( Broncho Alveolar Lavage ) analysis for TB.
If both are negative that means you are not having active tuberculosis and your scar is inactive. Thus you are not infectious.
