Avatar n tn hi, one of my closest friend had a short duration of upper respiratory infection. X - rays were taken which showed ihazziness. later CT was done and showed multiple nodes infilterated over the lungs. Ct guided biopsy was done which showed negative for malignancy and TB; necrotic tisuuue was found. repeat x-rays had reduced haziness Doctors are not sure about diagnosis. Is it cancer or pneumonia or allergic reaction or just tuberculosis? pls reply...... very much worried.
Avatar f tn The answers given did not take into account the duration and severity of the eye twitching and other symptoms that may accompany it. If eye twitching is occuring 24/7 for more than a few weeks, and other symptoms accompany it, it is not normal, as was suggest that eye twitching in normal.
Avatar n tn And as we have said innumerable times on this forum, symptoms virtually never are a useful indicator of new HIV infection, since even typical symptoms of ARS are more commonly caused by other, minor infections; and in any case your symptoms aren't typical for ARS anyway." That remains true. Superficial skin and oral fungal infections (thrush) are more common in HIV infected persons.

Avatar f tn I had Transverse Myelitis a year ago, I improved, then I got new symptoms to go with the TM symptoms that never left, and these new symptoms have stuck around for a number of months. Like nearly 6 months with little change. The way my neuro described it, folks with MS have their initial episode with all manner of symptoms, but it usually only lasts a couple months and they go back to whatever their personal normal turns out to be.
Avatar m tn Can anyone please tell me the duration of ARS symptoms? Have you heard if the duration of symptoms can be greater than five weeks? Thanks a lot. I am really scared.
Avatar m tn If that is correct, the course of your illness is consistent with what is called, Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP -- pneumonia acquired when not hospitalized). There are many causes of pneumonia (bacteria, fungi, viruses, chemical or organic irritants) and, even with extensive bacteriologic testing the specific cause is often not determined. The information you have provided, including the imaging studies (X-ray and CT) provides no clues as to the cause of your pneumonia.
Avatar m tn When your cd4 falls below 200. You wouldn't have PCP within 45 days of infection.
242516 tn?1368223905 The flu has passed epidemic rates in much of the country, and if you don't have a cold, I'm sure you have a friend who has the sniffles, fever, chills, aches and pains of a viral upper respiratory infection. This is different from a bacterial infection such as sinusitis, bronchitis, or pneumonia. A viral infection doesn't improve with antibiotics as these infections do. A virus hijacks your own body's healthy cells and uses it to reproduce and spread.
Avatar f tn My son has been diagnos with bronco pneumonia. Given medication. on the 2nd day in hospital swellon anckles and feet appear. On the next morning swollen subside then red spots appear, then almost all joints swelled up again and he's in pain then small bruises on his feet appeared then gone. All test were done and seems all clear or nothing suspicious result. After 4 days again appeared and disappear on the next day.
Avatar f tn Yes I did tell them. The pneumonia symptoms are starting to clear up I don't have a fever, never had a cough, starting to breathe better, and I have a lot more energy but still a bit light headed and throat is kind of sore and my voice hasn't return fully. I have been tested will get the results tomorrow.
Avatar f tn With the flu,...in my experience,....you just gotta "ride it out".....don't try to do anything but lay around in your snuggly pajamas and rest....take some aspirin for your fever, try to keep hydrated with water and juices or 7-up (not sprite).....and when you feel up to eating something,....THE BEST thing is chicken noodle soup,...or cream of chicken soup.....there's something magical in that broth. Hope this helps......oh,...
Avatar m tn Could be allergies, yes once you have had pneumonia you will have scarring ..it wont affect you, check out online for environmental allergies .
Avatar f tn Yes “walking pneumonia” is contagious. The development of more symptoms, in the face of antibiotic therapy, is worrisome as is the “side pain” which I assume to be pleurisy and suggests that this infection may fall into the category of complicated pneumonia. In this circumstance you should definitely request careful reevaluation by your doctor or his designate to include at a minimum a repeat chest X-ray, a complete blood count and culture of your sputum.
454286 tn?1205883067 We did that nothing changed. Sent him for second xray, which showed atalectasis and pneumonia altho the report didnt say any pneumonia, just atalectasis. Treated him with 10 days Augmentin and Pedia Pred. Cough cleared up, No sickness either. 6 days after antibiotics , breathing tx's and pedia pred finished, cough returns with fever. Had chest CT and doc says Atalectasis caused by Asthma. (I dont have this report in hand but will have exact report then). Could this be RMLS?

Avatar f tn Neurological outcome following an episode of hypoxia depends on various factors like duration of cerebral hypoxia, when was cardiopulmonary resuscitation initiated and there is a significant difference in the duration of anoxia between patients with favorable and unfavorable outcome after CPR. The duration of post anoxic coma is another prognostic indicator.
11079760 tn?1483386130 Hi there, I am not Dx with MS, but am in the middle of more tests. In 2008 after the birth of my 2nd child, I developed an overnight 6th nerve palsy/diplopia. Brain MRI came back clear and my symptoms resolved completely in about 3 weeks time.
Avatar f tn One might suspect that you have underlying asthma and that when you get a viral infection each year, it triggers pneumonia –like symptoms. I would suggest getting a pulmonary function test while you are sick to see if this is, indeed, asthma. If this is not the case, another possible reason is that the local immune system in your lungs is not protecting you from the infection. This is usually an antibody problem and can be checked with a blood test.
5601163 tn?1370701672 I recently underwent a two week course of Levaquin for pneumonia. On the follow-up visit with my doctor, a chest x-ray showed "right basilar opacity," which caused my doctor to order a CT scan. What does this mean?
Avatar m tn Went to the doctor today and they said this was caused by pneumonia. does ars cause pneumonia? Asked the doctor about the rash, she didn't know what it was but gave me a cream for it.
Avatar m tn Someone I know had a few unprotected encounters with a guy, and a week or so later developed "Vomiting, Fever, Muscle Aches". Now there are a few bad sicknesses going around in my city with the same kind of symptoms, and the water in my city has been under a "must boil" rule lately and shes pretty sure she had some of the water. She was only really sick for a day. Does this just sound like a stomach flu, bad water, or does this sound like ARS ?
Avatar f tn And even after you are over the clinical symptoms of the pneumonia / asthma, you are very very tired and somewhat weak getting back into the swing of things. I am so sorry you are going through this at your age and this most likely being the Summer where you live.
