Hello,
This report means that you have some current or past infection in your lungs that has caused scarring and collapse of some of the air spaces.
If you have a fever or shortness of breath, you may be currently infected and need to see a doctor now. If not, then see a doctor as soon as you can for further testing.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Kathy Robinson, General & Family Physician
