Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Hazy density in the right lower lobe may be due to infection.Both lateral CP angles are also blunted,it may be due to mild pleural effusion.Ultrasound of thorax can be done for confirmation of pleural fluid.
It is important to rule out infective etiology.You need clinical correlation.Broad spectrum antibiotics should be prescribed after evaluation.
You also need further tests like routine hemogram.
Hope i have answered your query.
