Infiltrates on a xray usually means that the air sacs are filled with fluid, cells, bacteria, or other substance. Pneumonia is an example , also fluid build up from CHF (congestive heart failure) can present as infiltrates from what I remember. I know that there are other reasons. What did your doc say Diva? Again keeping you in my thoughts..Sunny

Well My lung doctor really didn't say to much to me about it but they found Infirtrates in my Lung and that he didn't think it was Pneumonia right then and there. He Did do a Blood Gas and Said I had Low ABG can you tell me what that means.

He probably meant that your PO2 was low as well as your oxygenation. Do you happen to know the results off hand? I have gotten pretty good at reading those blood gas results (after years of being a nurse as well as a victim LOL). Sunny ;)
