What Does This X-ray Report Of Lung Specify?

i have the result of my x-ray and now i dont understand what the result says. There are fibrolinear infiltrates in the right lung apex and reticulohazy opacicities with overlying cavity in the left upper lung field. The trachea is in the midline. The heart is not enlarged. The pulmonary vessels are within normal limits. Both hemidiaphragms are distinct. The osseous thoracic cage reveals no significant bony abnormality thats the results says. Can you please explain it to me.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for seeking help by posting your report in HCM.
Your chest X-ray report seems that there is an infection in upper part of the lung, suggestive of tuberculosis.
You need to go to RNTCP centre nearby and get your sputum sample examined.
Don't have to worry much. TB is curable. But you need to take proper treatment as will be advised without fail.
I find this answer helpful
