Rt basal-plate atelectasis effectCovid19
Dear Sir, I'd history of Pulm TB (12 yrs back in 2007). After its complete treatment at that time, I was experiencing occasional mild pain at base of rt lung during laughing or fast breathing. In 2013, I experienced minor blood spotting when I cough in morning, this happened only in morning. It happened almost every year after 2013, but  happened only for few weeks in a year, not regularly in a year. I had consulted multiple pulmonologist for this, but they all said it's nothing a major problem. But, last year I decided to go for complete investigation in consultation with another pulmonologist. He suggested MDCT scan of thorax and it's report revealed that I have Rt basal-plate atelectasis (old insult) which could be due to my history of pulmonary TB. Pulmonologist said that pain could be due to this. Now I want to know that is my this problem of Atelectasis could result in major life threatening conditions if I get this Covid 19 disease? Pls suggest. Thanks, Prakhar Dubey
