Hi,Sandy,
Welcome to HCM,
From your X ray report it suggests that you are having Pulmonary tuberculosis.
Co relate means compare with any symptoms like cough,low grade fever you have,loss of weight etc and any blood repot is done.
So with all reports and clinical examination your doctor can diagnose your problem.
Nothing to worry if tuberculosis is there it is completely curable with long treatment.
Ok and bye.
