Chest X-ray Shows With PA Shows Suspicious Infiltrates In The Right Upper Lobe. What Does That Mean?
hello As you have said you had an incidental finding of suspicious infiltrates in upper lobes mostly these upper infiltrates are benign if you are not living in an area where tuberculosis is prevalent mostly there is thickening of upper part of lung due to gravitational pull and x ray shows infiltrate , get an apical xray to confirm other causes of upper lobe infiltrates are 1 lung tuberculosis 2.backache (ankylosing spondylitis) 3.drug reaction hope this helps, and dont worry take care
