Hello,
There is some lesion seen in the upper part of the lungs. It might be an old infection. A sputum study is required to confirm the whether the disease is active or not. It the disease process is active, anti tuberculosis drugs must be taken.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
