What Do Infiltrates On The Left Upper Lobe On An X-ray Report Suggest?

Hi. Good day. I had my medical examination and my xray reaults revealed that i have infiltrates on the left upper lobe. I had my xray 3months ago and it revealed a normal chest study. The next day after my medical exam i repeated my chest xray and it was all normal. Unfortunately, the clinic who did the medical already sent their result to the embassy. I am on a trip to new zealand 3 months from now. I am at the peak of my good health from the time of my examination. That is why i was suprised with the result. Could you explain to me what are the possible reasons for this result? Thank you
