Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Infiltrates in the upper lung field can be due to many reasons like infection- mostly chronic like tuberculosis, malignancy, metabolic disorders, etc. The appearance of the infiltrates will help in giving a clue further about the diagnosis. You may get an MRI chest done to have a better idea.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
