Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion you should first consult pulmonologist and get done bronchoscopy and BAD (Bronchoalveolar lavage) analysis. Left Hilary region calcification is suggestive of healed, inactive, scar lesion. It is not active lesion. You might be having tuberculosis or pneumonia in the past, which is healed after treatment and shows calcified lesion in left him. Since it is inactive disease, no treatment is required, and it will remain as it is throughout the life. If bronchoscopy and BAD is negative than you can argue with visa authority about not having active, infectious disease and your lesion is healed and noncontinuous. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Your visa problem will be solved, no need to worry.
