Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the stable infiltrate involving upper lobe of the lung indicates possible issue with:
- Mycobacterial tuberculosis infestation
- Previously healed tuberculosis with secondary infection
- Occupational exposure related disorder as that of silica or else
- Others
However, correlation with underlying symptoms are mandatory to evaluate in terms of active or chronic lesion as well as further management guidelines.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
