Koch's infection
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.
