Hello
CT scan findings suggests consolidation in bilateral lower lobes(pneumonitis) of lungs.Pneumonia is indicated by air bronchogram which is typically seen in pneumonia.
Patient may empirically need broad spectrum antibiotics after clinical evaluation.
This condition also need follow up.
This is not a very critical finding.Patient usually get cured by antibiotics.
Patient may also need routine investigations like hemogram,etc.
Get well soon.
