Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
According to X-rays there is increased bronchovascular markings noted in both lung fields,it may be due to infective etilogy.
There is also thick atelectatic band in mid zone of right lung in parahilar region.There are many causes of atelectasis,it may be due to retained secretions,infection etc.
Other areas of lung appears normal.
CP angles are clear.Cardiac size is normal.
Mediastinal structures are normal.
Hope i have answered your query.
