General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

When we acquire lung infection, the healing can occur by fibrosis. The fibrosis develops when infection is chronic. So your fibrosis in the apex of lung could be due to the previous infection of the lung in the past.

The active pus-filled area called consolidation is not present. So you may need not to worry if clinical symptoms not present.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
