Thanks for posting your question on HCM!
I can appreciate your concern for your father.
The given data is incomplete in the sense the problems for which chest x ray was done not mentioned.
However the findings given in the result are suggestive of:
Pneumonia, pleural effusion, non cardiogenic pulmonary oedema.
For better clinical co-relation and evaluation you are advised to take physician's consultation.
Regards!
