Koch's infection

2017-03-17 02:35:55
Hi Doc, I had my xray recently for my pre employment and the result is this: "Minimal hazed infiltrates are seen in the lateral aspect of the left upper lung and fibrotic densities on the left perahilar region" And they ask for Apicolordotic chest xray. What does it mean? I had a history with PTB way back 2014 and got cleareed after six months of medication. Thank you so much.

It is most probably Heald old kochs lesion. But u should go for that x-ray and sputum for zn stain to rule out active kochs.

This might suggest old Koch's. But u will have to undergo variety of tests including sputum examination if its for present employment. The concerned company doctor will be calling the shots.
