What do you mean by “few cords in both lungs”?



A few cords in both lungs is an imaging change in which fibrous cords are found in both lung fields, suggesting the possibility of an old lesion or a lung infection.

The presence of cords is most often due to damage to the lung structure caused by lung infection or other injuries, followed by scar-like changes during structural repair. The presence of scarring may lead to changes in the lung structure, which in turn may lead to infection. If there is no clinical manifestation, it is considered to be an old lesion and does not require special treatment, and regular review is sufficient.

However, if symptoms such as cough, fever and sputum occur, it is necessary to consider whether pneumonia and other respiratory diseases are present, improve the blood routine and other tests, and according to the results of the tests, carry out appropriate treatment.
