I'm a bit concerned because I've been told that there's minimal fibrosis and atelectasis in my right lung's middle lobe and lingula. Could you help me understand what exactly this means? Is it something I should be worried about, and what steps should I take next? Would really appreciate any insights or advice you could give me.

I'm trying to understand the possible causes of a cavitary lung lesion and what diseases it might indicate. Can you help clarify which of these are contagious and which ones aren't? Are all lung-related diseases something I should be worried about spreading to others?

I'm really worried because I've had pleural fluid drained using a tube, and despite having all the tests done and taking the medications prescribed by the doctor, there's no noticeable improvement. Could there be something else that's causing this lack of progress? What should I do next?

I'm really worried about my condition. I got a chest X-ray and have been dealing with a 98.8-degree fever in the evenings along with an irritated throat and mucus. The Mantoux test came back positive at 1012 mm, but the AFB test was negative. My doctor at the government hospital started me on tuberculosis treatment two months ago. Since then, I've gained about 3 kg. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about anything else?
