What Does Prominent Broncho Vascular Marking And Lymphadenopathy Of Chest X-ray Suggest?

Dear Doctor, I just got my "xray chest pa view" report which states:
1) Prominent Broncho Vascular Markings
2) Bilateral hilar radopacity/lymphadenopathy.

Could you please help me in understanding what does this mean and what would be the treatment for this.
Thanks.

Dear Juliet,

Prominent bronco-vascular markings is a general description that may be related to a number of findings and conditions. Asthmatics may have prominent bronchial markings for example. The findings of bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy raises the possibility of infections such as TB and a blood count with differential, to ensure that there are no abnormal cells may be indicated. If you would like to send me the image with your permission to view it, I am a lung specialist: pulmd@aol.com, I can give you a more detailed answer.
