Hi,

Apicolordotic view means the apical view of the chest to confirm the presence of opacities in the lungs. The findings noted are suggestive of pulmonary tuberculosis and the same has to be ascertained with clinical examination viz., cough, fever (during night manifesting as night sweats), weight loss as well as other microbiological investigations which includes sputum microscopy and TB PCR to demonstrate the causative organism.

If already consulting with a physician then please review the reports and other tests can be planned if not done already. A pulmonologist reference may be required for further management accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harish Reddy, Pathologist and Microbiologist
