Were they looking for TB, because that can suggest that at one point you had been infected with tuburculosis because that can cause lesions in your lungs. No infiltrates or effusion means that there is no fluid on the lungs and no bronchial wall thickening is also a positive sign of lung health
Other Answers:
the granulomata usually refer to a previous infectious process in your lungs that have healed. the infection may come from various diseases, and in certain parts of the world TB is the primary culprit.
effusion refers to the presence of fluid in the pleural spaces (the lining of your lungs), and its absence is of course a good sign, as well as the absence of infiltrates (usually referring to an active infection) and bronchial wall thickening (also commonly seen during an active infection and other inflammatory processes).
