What causes minimal blunt in left lung in ultrasound scanning?
Patient: I suffered from TB 1 years ago. I was cured after medication. I had X-rays at periodic intervals and everytime the report was normal. my ultrasound scanning was also normal, my left lung is minimal blunt what is the cause for it , and I experience mild pain appears often ..... Doctor: Blunt angle can be due to pleural effusion which can be detected on lung ultrasound. Other causes could be thickened pleura and pleural fibrosis which can cause chest pain.you have taken antiTB treatment already so there is a possibility of pleural fibrosis and its a healing process.no need to woŕy for it if there is no fluid on ultrasound.
