Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I have gone through the CT report you have mentioned. Fibrocalcified lesions are suggestive of old healed lesions. These are mostly due to previous lung infection or tuberculosis. No need to worry for these lesions as they are scarred inactive lesions. Rest of the report is absolutely normal. So no need to worry for lung related cause for her fever.

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