What does "nodules in upper lobe and middle lobe" suggest on chest x-ray?
Patient: Centri nobular nodules noted in anterior segment of right upper lobe and middle lobe segment. This slightly reprsent the areas of active infrective process. Mediastinal lymph adenopathy. Multiple enlarge mediastinal lymph node noted at sub cranial, pretracheal and right para tracheal region and in aorto pulmonary window. What is the diasease and its treatment? Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. I have gone through the report you have mentioned. Yes, you are about infective etiology. Most common cause for centrilobular nodules is infection. Amongst infection, tuberculosis is the likely infection. You are also having mediastinal Lymphadenopathy. This also favours tuberculosis more. So get done sputum microscopic examination for AFB (acid fast bacilli - bacteria causing tuberculosis). You will need anti tubercular drugs for at least 6-8 months. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
