Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Right paracardiac opacities indicates infection.It may be due to pneumonia or recurrence of Tuberculosis.
Firstly,broad spectrum antibiotics should be prescribed.In non responding cases,T.B should be ruled out.
You need investigation like routine hemogram,mantoux test.PCR for T.B can be done if needed.
Other findings are within normal limit.Heart,diaphragm and bony thorax are normal.
Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
