Hello
Thanks for your query.
From the chest x-ray findings it seems to me that the lesions in the chest are old lesions and inactive lesions. Though if symptoms are there like fever, cough, sputum production, weight loss you need to undergo sputum testing for acid-fast bacilli. Otherwise you need not to undergo any tests and these are old lesions and will not harm you.
Thank you. Regards,
Dr Arnab Maji
