These findings can only be interpreted with knowledge of information about your symptoms, clinical status (like exercise tolerance, blood oxygenation, pulmonary function tests), and factors that predispose to lung problems in addition to your asthma and past TB. Keep working with your doctors. Good luck.

The bilateral pleural thickening and bronchiectasis is likely related to previous TB and infection. The larger single calcified nodule may be further assessed in relation to risk factors and other details. Discuss whether a PET scan is indicated with your physician. Otherwise a repeat CT is recommended in three months.
