Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your report suggests streaky and patchy opacities in the lung.It may be sequel of past infection or low grade infection.
It is difficult to determine low grade infection present inside the lesion.
It is important to rule out infective etiology.
You need proper clinical examination and further investigations.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.
Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
