Have Asthma. Chest X Ray Results Differ, Tiny Lung Granulomas. Infection?
I had a recent chest x-ray, the first one says that my lungs are essentially normal while the other clinic says in their reading that I have a tiny lung granulomas. what does it mean? I'm planning to go abroad and my visa just arrived and I'm having a problem with my CXR. Is it infectious or not? I dont have any history of lung ca, smoking and other risk factors however I have an asthma but the last attack was in 1996
