welcome to Health care magic.
1.Hazyness is seen when there is some collection in the alveoli.
2.Which are seen in case of any infections / pneumonias.
3.Also seen in case of previously infected cases as trace.
4.In this case your doctor may prescribe a course of antibiotic treatment will resolve.
5.This findings are normal in elderly patients due to basal atelectatic changes.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
