Thanks for your question on HCM.
There are many causes for rejection due to chest x ray finding.
1. Infiltration
2. Scarring
3. Mass lesion
4. Pleural effusion etc.
So better to consult with pulmonologist and get done repeat chest x ray.
Scarring is seen in past infections like TB. And infiltrationor pleural effusion can be due to TB or other bacterial infection.
So better to find the cause for your x ray rejection and solve it wiyh pulmonologist.
