Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done CT Thorax with contrast.
As haziness on x ray can be due to
1. Infection
2. Spread of malignancy.
3. Fluid in the lung.
But since you are also having high grade fever I think it is pneumonia (infection).
You may also require bronchoscopy and BAL better evaluation of this.
So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss these things.
