Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM. Hazzy infiltrates on chest x ray usually suggest pneumonia. In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist. Start dual antibiotics like quinolone with amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Also get done sputum culture and sensitivity to guide antibiotic therapy. So consult pulmonologist and discuss these things.
