What Are The Symptoms Of Tuberculosis?

My fiance is 44 years old, she thinks she had tuberculossis at 4 years old she was never hospitalised, she stayed at home and would play with her brother and was with her mother and Father and has never had problems, she has no scarring of lungs. Could this have been something other than Tuberculosis.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Tuberculosis of childhood almost always produce Scar lesion on chest x ray.
Since she is not having having any Scar lesion on chest x ray at present, no need to worry for childhood tuberculosis.
She might be having pneumonia which was healed by antibiotics.
So no need to think too much about old disease as she is having normal chest x ray at present.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your wife. Thanks.
