Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the x ray report you have mentioned.
No need to worry for tuberculosis because there is no consolidation or infiltration.
Pulmonary hyperaeration means his lungs are hyperinflated. And this is commonly seen with smokers.
So if your husband is active smoker then he should quit smoking immediately.
Nothing is suggestive of tuberculosis so no need to worry.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
