Can i ask what is the cause and effect of suspicious infiltrate in right upper lobe

1 Answers

Dr. Vivek C answered : 10 years ago

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

I understand you are writing about your chest X ray. An infiltrate is a focus of infection in the lungs. If it is suspicious that means the X ray chest shows a doubtful area of lung infection in the right lung upper lobe. This has to be matched with your clinical symptoms and examination of lungs. If confirmed, it can be treated with medicine.

For my sister in the age of 14, few steroids injected to suppress the growth of an abscess which was grown due to herpes viral infection in the upper lip below nose. The abscess growth stopped and we satisfied about the medication. Now she is 30, but her personnel body growth is getting reduced day by day. She is around 40 kg now.

So if her personal body growth is reducing now after gaining full weight and height, the cause should not be steroid taken at that tender age,and she should have a detailed examination and investigation to find out the cause of the disease.
