Bronchiolectasis
I did my HRCT scan. It says focal bronchiolectasis in the right lower lobe posteriorly in the subpleural region. The appearance is none specific.
Is this something I should be worried about?
I want to know two things
1. Is this contagious?
2. Can this be anywhere related to TB?
Please help me understand this
