Fibrotic foci in the lower lobes of both lungs is an imaging manifestation of a stale lesion that may also be caused by interstitial lung disease.
1. Stale foci: If the patient has previously suffered from chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, bronchiectasis and other lesions, the imaging findings of fibrotic foci in the lower lobes of both lungs may occur when the patient is well-treated or about to be cured.
2. Interstitial Lung Disease: The etiology of this disease is more complex, and may be related to the patient’s use of drugs such as amiodarone hydrochloride tablets and methotrexate tablets, or long-term exposure to dust. When the disease occurs, it may involve the interstitium of the lungs and alveolar cavities, and then the phenomenon of fibrotic foci in the lower lobes of both lungs may occur.
After the emergence of bilateral lower lobe fibrosis foci, patients should quit smoking in time, stay away from air pollution, wear masks in time when going out to avoid environmental factors stimulating the lungs, leading to recurrence of pulmonary fibrosis, which is not conducive to physical recovery.
It is recommended that after the emergence of fibrosis foci in the lower lobes of both lungs, the patient should consult the doctor in time to observe the specific situation of the lungs, and if there are any abnormalities, the patient should consult the doctor in time.
