Fibrosis is the medical term for scarring and it implies healed tuberculosis in general. Nodular lesions and consolidation may be in active tuberculosis, which needs to be confirmed by testing your phlegm in a lab or if that is not contributory, you may require a bronchoscopy. In addition to this we need to look at your symptoms/problems right now and your general condition. Agree this a call may be taken whether you have got tb again or your breathlessness is because of some other reason...
