Hi camenventic,
Thanks for visiting HCM.
Fibrohazy densities in the apical part can possibly be due to tuberculosis. The effusion as represented by right costophrenic angle blunting also suggests the same disease. Rest all descriptions are normal finding.
I advise you to go for sputum examination for tubercular bacilli. go for ultrasonography of chest and guided aspiration of fluid. Send the fluid for routine microscopy, ADA, total protein, LDH.
The findings of lymphocytosis in the pleural fluid more than 80%, ADA >40, Total protein more than 5 is strongly suggestive of tuberculosis.
Best wishes
