Hello,
Apical opacity in X-ray is commonly related to tuberculosis infection.
I would recommend doing further examinations to confirm the diagnosis.
I would recommend :
- a complete blood count
- a TB skin test or blood test.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
