The term, "old granulomatous disease" is based on x-ray findings that show scarring, characteristic of past infection with any of a number of fungi or tuberculosis. The implication is that whatever infection caused this scarring, is currently inactive and that no treatment or further testing is required. Hope This Helps.

Fibronodular scarring pertains to sharply defined approximately circular opacities found in clusters associated with linear opacities that distort adjacent structures; usually indicates previous granulomatous disease.
A granulomatous reaction is a type of chronic inflammation characterized by the formation of granulomas, which are clusters of immune cells (such as macrophages) that wall off foreign substances that the body is unable to eliminate. Granulomatous reactions are commonly seen in conditions like tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, and certain fungal infections.
The life expectancy for someone with chronic granulomatous, or CGD, depends on the severity of the individual's condition. Someone who is only mildly affected may have an average life expectancy.
Depends on what has caused it in the first place. Granulomatous is a term used to describe something pertaining to or resembling granulomas. A granuloma is a chronic inflammatory lesion characterised by an accumulation of white blood cells. They may resolve spontaneously, spread or allow further infection. Treatment depends on the initial cause.
