That reminds me. I've had "shadows" show up in my lung x-rays which is almost certainly scarring from measles - possibly from the coughing. Also, like many Brits, I had the BCG vaccine for TB. This makes me test positive for having had TB, I have the antibodies. The combination of these factors is enough evidence to make American doctors think I've had TB. I takes some work to convince them otherwise - which is fair, they can't be expected to know what vaccines are standard in other countries.
