What Causes Fibroreticular Infiltration?
I am 69 years old and just recently went to Bangkok to have neck surgery. I couldnt get it done as the Dr. over there said I have Fibroreticular Infiltration in top of both lungs. I have had x rays before but this wasnt spotted. I am not diabetic or anything unusual that I no of. I never smoked but was surrounded by passive all my life. Could you tell me more about this and what to do Thanks

Hello,
It can be a sign of old and healed infection. Consult a pulmonologist and get evaluated. You might require an HRCT (High-resolution CT) to get a better clinical picture.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
