Lung proliferative foci are usually concluded from a chest X-ray or CT examination. Lung proliferative foci, also known as fibrotic lung foci, are formed as a result of a lung lesion. Lung proliferative foci mainly consist of focal proliferative foci, i.e., old lesions, and non-focal proliferative foci.
Lung proliferative foci are usually formed due to inflammation, and people with pneumonia and tuberculosis are more likely to develop lung proliferative foci. If the lung proliferative foci are small in extent, no further treatment is needed and only regular checkups are required. If the lung proliferative foci are caused by tuberculosis, they should be treated with anti-tuberculosis medication under the guidance of a doctor.
1. Non-focal proliferative foci: such as pleural thickening and pleural adhesions, when the area is relatively large and extensive, it may lead to different degrees of ventilation dysfunction due to the thickening of pleural adhesions, which restricts lung expansion.
2. Focal proliferative foci: usually caused by inflammatory injury, as a result of post-inflammatory repair, usually without special treatment.
It is recommended to consult a professional physician in time for a clear diagnosis and symptomatic treatment.
