Patchy infiltration in right lower lung and left perihilar region, two calcifications in right upper hermithorax. IMPRESSION: Chronic lung disease with infection. Recently, about a year ago, I ve noticed he has lost the volume of his voice. His speech has no strength at times.

Hi,

The X-ray chest is suggestive of chronic infection like tuberculosis with areas of scarring and inflammation.

You can consult a pulmonologist and get evaluated for further management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
