X Ray report

2018-01-28 07:04:48
My father was diagnosed with LRTI and tuberculous Pleural effusion in the left lung. The effusion was drained out. He's been on TB medication for the last 1 month. We were asked to take him to the doctor for medical review/check up/follow up at the end of this month and get an X Ray done. The X Ray report shows left costo-phrenic angle is blunt. What does this mean? Here is the report.
