Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The words prominence of bronchovascular markings mean that you might be having an inflammation or infection of the airways. This is known as bronchitis and bronchopneumonia. It is less likely to be a result of TB infection but if the fever and cough is present for more than two months and not being controlled be medicines then ruling out TB is suggested.
