Q: Abnormal Chest X-Ray
asked by: YoungAnaana on October 3rd, 2008

Good morning;

I have a 19 month old son who had an abnormal chest x-ray. As we do not have a family physician because we just moved to a different city, the walk-in doctor could not explain the results to me. The below is what the results were:

"Two views of the chest show that there are diffusely prominant bronchial markings in the perihilar regions as well as the left upper lobe and in the lower lobes. There are no definate air bronchograms. The heart is preserved. The costophrenic angles are clear".

My son has suffered enough, he has been misdiagnosed, and treated for the misdiagnoses, and his symptoms have been recurring since he was six months old!

Please, if anyone can elaborate on this, please; I ask of you, do so! We don't know a lot of people here but I have been researching on the internet and it's only left me more confused!

Thank you to whoever you are, and hopefully, we'll talk to you soon!

-A very concerned young mother.

You need to go and see a radiologist. Can you get a referral?
