right lateral and VD thorax – The lung volume is within normal limits. There is a mild generalized
bronchointerstitial pattern within increased bronchial markings and mineralization of
the bronchial walls. Mild pleural thickening is noted. There is no mediastinal
widening. The course of the trachea is within normal limits

bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage and fecal examination
