Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
In the left lower lobe ( zone) there is opacity and this clearly indicates that you were a tubercular patient and took treatment ( old opacity).
While hilar region of both side showing active lesion ( may be tuberculosis).
Cardiac shadow is normal.
I am sorry to say that you were a treated case of tuberculosis as well as having active lesion.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
