A member asked:
What does "possible" early lower lobe pnemonia mean and faint opacity at lateral left lung base?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Opacity: The opacity at the left lung base suggests possible early lower lobe pneumonia, which otherwise includes findings on the clinical exam, correlating history and symptoms, blood work and response to treatment. Serial imaging will be likely needed.
