Hello, Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum. In the left lower lobe ( zone) there is opacity and this clearly indicates that you were a tubercular patient and took treatment ( old opacity). While hilar region of both side showing active lesion ( may be tuberculosis). Cardiac shadow is normal. I am sorry to say that you were a treated case of tuberculosis as well as having active lesion. Good luck. Dr. HET
