[|Human|] ok I am just going through my ct test results...and am punching in each finding individually...I have been diagnosed with mild atelectasis and bronchieactassis.. the first findings says there are tiny subcentimetre lymph nodes above the carina and in trhe prevascular region, likely reactive...so what does this mean or indicate for my ongoing health?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should not worry much about your report. Atelectasis is partial collapse of alveoli. It is most commonly due to secretions. And secretions are due to infection. So infection is the cause for your Atelectasis.  Cardinal lymph nodes are also enlarged due to this infection. Bronchiectasis is airway disease. In which bronchi became dilated and tortuous. This causes retention of secretions and this retained secretion cause infection. So start antibiotics as your CT report shows sequela of infection.
