Q: x-ray showed coarse bilateral interstitial lung markings. what does this mean and what are possible complications down the road?

: This is often the wording for simple lower respiratory virus infections or simply a chest x-ray taken when the patient did not take in a deep breath. This finding without a review of history and correlation with why the study was ordered cannot lead to a reasoned response.
