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.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi,
