Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
There are opacities in the lungs which are indicative of a lung infection. It is important to know your clinical symptoms and if you are coughing with blood in sputum. The diagnosis can be pneumonia due to bacterial infection or tuberculosis. You may need to consult a chest physician and get further tests to rule out tuberculosis. Medications need to be taken and you will recover fast.
