View allI recently had an x-ray for a job requirement and the results mentioned minimal hazed infiltrates in the lateral aspect of my left upper lung, and fibrotic densities in the left perihilar region. They also asked for an apicolordotic chest x-ray. I had PTB back in 2014 and was cleared after six months of treatment. Does this mean the PTB might have returned or is it something else?
Hello, based on your recent X-ray results, it seems there are some mild changes in your left lung, possibly related to previous pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). The fibrotic densities suggest healed areas from your past illness. The doctor is likely asking for an apicolordotic chest X-ray to get a clearer view of the upper lung for further assessment. It's good to monitor, but these findings don't necessarily indicate active disease.

I'm supposed to be going to Dubai for work, but my medical report showed a calcification in the area near my right hilum during the chest X-ray. I'm really worried because if I'm deemed medically unfit, I can't take the job. I'm not having any chest pain at all, but I do smoke, so could this be from my smoking habit? How can I get rid of this calcification quickly? Would this affect my chances for the job in Dubai?
