I'm really concerned about this - can pulmonary TB come back after you've been treated successfully and your sputum test from a bronchoscopy is negative? Also, is it normal to sometimes feel a bit of pain in the lungs while breathing if you recovered from TB and finished the treatment just last year?

Yes ,it can re-occur. Symtoms are normal.

What can you make of my mom's recent X-ray? She's 60, and after testing positive for COVID antibodies 18 days after her first symptoms, the new X-ray shows some prominent bronchovascular markings with a patchy non-homogeneous opacity in the left lower zone. It also mentions something about a bulky right hilum with calcified lymph nodes. Should I be worried about these findings?
