Right lung cord is often mentioned in imaging reports as scarring left behind after the lesion has been absorbed. Common causes of right lung cords include tuberculosis and pneumonia.
1. Tuberculosis: Right lung cord is mostly seen in old tuberculosis, usually accompanied by symptoms of calcified foci. It is the aftermath of tuberculosis in the lungs after regular treatment.
2. Pneumonia: After some patients are cured of pneumonia, the exudate of inflammation in the lungs can not be completely absorbed, which will leave behind a streak-like shadow.
However, if there is a new onset of cord-like shadow in the right lung with symptoms such as cough and sputum, and the examination reveals that it is not an old lesion, it is generally considered that the patient may now be in the active stage of tuberculosis or pneumonia.
Lung cords are limited and small, and no discomfort symptoms, generally do not need special treatment, such as more cords affect the lung function, need to be based on the specific circumstances of the symptomatic treatment, if necessary, regular hospital consultation.
