Accepted Answer

: Anything is possible-there is really no way to say for sure the etiology of the pleural thickening. It certainly could be related to a prior infection-either pneumonia or Covid. It could also be due to an exposure of some type, like asbestos, for example. If the areas involved are small and you have no symptoms then following them over time to be sure these areas don’t get bigger would be prudent
