Lung nodules themselves are generally not infectious, but the disease that causes lung nodules may be infectious, whether it will cause infection to be analyzed in detail:
if the boundaries of lung nodules are clear, accompanied by calcification, fat components, and caused by lung infection, and in the active period, in addition to the pathogens that cause the disease are Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Staphylococcus aureus, mycoplasma, etc., it may be infectious. If lung nodules are relatively large, and the boundaries are unclear, there are hollow, burr and other characteristics, more consideration is caused by lung cancer, generally will not spread between people, not infectious.
