A member asked:

I had a previous xray and i undergo tb treatment. now i had my nxt xray and it says "regression in left upper lobe infiltrates". what does it mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Improvement.: Regression of an infiltrate on a chest X-ray would suggest that the infiltrate has improved. It's not gone, but it's better.
