30 years history of tuberculosis.CT shows 1~2mm nodules and corded shadows in both lungs.What is the cause?

Previous history of tuberculosis for 30 years, lung CT shows 1~2mm nodules and striated shadows in both lungs, which may be old foci left after the cure of tuberculosis. The presence of striated shadows and small nodules on lung CT is mostly due to old foci left behind by respiratory diseases such as tuberculosis and pneumonia. If the patient has a history of tuberculosis, and this time the CT shows striated shadows and nodules, and if there are no other special discomforts, it is generally considered to be the old foci left behind by anti-tuberculosis treatments. It is recommended that the patient should consult the doctor in time after the occurrence of uncomfortable symptoms. Clinically, the diagnosis can be clarified through blood routine, blood culture, CT, MRI, bronchoscopy and other examinations, and after the diagnosis is clarified, it is necessary to carry out active treatment.
