TB in my lungs?

I was infected with tb for 3 months or maybe abit longer the doctors kept giving me medication for what they thought was pneumonia until they finally found out that it was tb....can anyone tell me how much damage would have been done to both my lungs...or if the doctors would have done the proper tests in the first place would my lungs have been the same or got worse over that 3 month period.

In most individuals tuberculosis is a slowly progressive disease, unless you are immunocompromised. While it is unlikely that you developed long-term or permanent damage it is impossible to say with certainty. I do question why tb was not considered, along with all other causes of respiratory infection. X-rays are not going to give a full picture of pulmonary damage. They are more commonly used to see if a potential tb patient has lesions in the lungs. That doesn't equate with lasting effects. Pulmonary function studies would be better but, without verified after-treatment symptoms there would be no need. My inclination is to think you are worrying excessively. The vast majority of tb patients have no future problems after completion of treatment. I do not think that three months would be a real problem.

TB does not damage peoples lungs. the damage is done when the human body has a cellular response to the infection. the white blood cells release cytotoxins in attempt to kill infected cells. long story short, the damage done to your lungs all depends on your own body's immune response.

That's what they told me I had. But it's cause I came from Germany. In Germany we get shots for TB. However , the make man shift of that shot is, it still shows up as TB negative here in the US. My government had to proof the USA that I did not have had TB. So it entirely depends on how a vaccine is being created I think.

No one can tell you how much, if any, damage has been done to your lungs. You'd need a chest X-ray for that. TB causes pneumonia, didn't you know? Drop it.
