Markings in perihilar area of lung in a 6 mo. old. What does this mean? Any docs here that can answer? thanks


My 6 mo. old was admitted to hosp. when xray showed 'marking' on perihilar area of his lung. Is this near the heart?The doc told my son it could be either a virus or pneumonia? What is tx.? Antibiotics? IV's? He has temp. 10l and is congested.

My gr. son's fever just started today, but was congested since yesterday.

Children normally have increased lung markings in the perihilar area. Usually, this is due to blood vessels in the lungs. Markings showing enlarged hilar glands are found in tuberculosis of the lungs.These are associated with other findings such as opacities in the lobes of the lungs. Hila of the lungs are the parts on the inner side where bronchi and blood vessels enter the lungs.
