Hi, i got my apico lordotic view and it says apico lordotic view confirms presence of minimal ill defined infiltrates in the left apex. Consider inflammatory versus infectious etiology? WhT does it mean? Thank you so much!

Hi Guest,
You need to discuss this with your doctor. They've seen your x-ray, we haven't.
In general, from the apicolordotic view they've determined that you have some inflammatory process going on in your lungs and NOT an infection.
It could be from something you've been exposed to - inhaled.

Inflammatory, something is causing an inflammation - not an infection such as PTB or an illness.
Smoking can do this. So can breathing in dust or other fibers (asbestos maybe?).
Talk to your doctor.

Thank you doc for the reply, but my doctor requested to have a sputum test to make sure that is not ptb, because before year back 2011 i was took meds for ptb in 6 months but i am totaly cure, she was thinking if the problem is ptb, that's why i am really scared, hope is not,

Your doctor is your best resource here. We haven't seen your x-ray and know nothing of your past or current medical history. Based on the report you have an inflammation of the lungs and it is not due to an infection. It could be due to something you have inhaled. It may be related to a form of asthma. You may be prescribed drugs to help you breathe.
The sputum analysis is a good suggestion when you are not sure as to the cause. Your doctor wants to rule out an infection.
X-rays, while a valuable diagnostic tool, can NOT always diagnose a problem.

Good morning Doctor, I had an x-ray and some suspicious thing was seen and was advised to have apico lordotic view. Both my lower lung fields have some haziness too, but Before having my xray I had so much phlegm which is clear in color.
