Avatar n tn The various causes of hemoptysis in adults are bronchitis, bronchiectasis, TB, necrotizing pneumonia, primary lung cancer. Massive hemoptysis common causes are bronchiectasis, tuberculous and other pneumonias and bronchogenic carcinoma. Dizziness could be due to blood loss causing hypotension. This needs to be investigated immediately by a pulmonologist since it could be serious. Management would depend on the diagnosis. Take care.
Avatar f tn Examples might include a necrotizing (tissue destructive) pneumonia following aspiration or chronic infection distal to an obstructing bronchial adenoma. Often, however, BXSIS evolves due to conditions that are inherent to the patient's basic genetic constitution. The most common and dramatic example of this is cystic fibrosis (CF).
Avatar m tn s another autoimmune symptom that is obviously related to the treatment. First it was vitiligo and both my gastro and my dermatologist deny their is any known association to the Tx. Guess they've never heard of the Internet... Now I'm waiting on biopsy results from the derm's office on what I think he described as Necrotizing Vasculitis. I thought the rash had just changed .
Avatar m tn six months back she diagnosed with the left pulmonary artery thrombo embolism (PE) later got treatment with LMWH (warfrine) injunctions with hospitalization for five days and then she was on meditation by using the blood thinners (Pradaxa). After two months cavity in the lung got increased which was initially about 1 cm now it increased to 3.8*2.8 cm.

Avatar m tn Identification of ocular signs and symptoms of rheumatologic disease will allow a more comprehensive approach to treatment of patients with rheumatic conditions. Introduction The eye is an important indicator of rheumatologic disease. A wide variety of ophthalmic clinical manifestations exist including inflammation of the cornea, conjunctiva, lacrimal gland, episclera, sclera, uvea (including anterior, intermediate, and posterior uveitis), and ophthalmic blood vessels.
Avatar n tn Hi bibban12, The thing about pneumonia is it's just a broad term for lung inflammation, and the air sacs filling up with fluid, but it isn't a specific diagnosis of what caused the pneumonia.
Avatar f tn (CNN) -- A South Carolina woman undergoing treatment for infection with a rare case of "flesh-eating" bacteria was in critical but stable condition Thursday at Greenville Memorial Hospital, a hospital spokeswoman said. Lana Kuykendall, 36, "underwent her fifth debridement surgery to remove necrotic, or dead, tissue from her lower leg," said Sandy Dees, senior media relations coordinator for Greenville Hospital System University Medical Center, in a news release.
Avatar n tn If there is any problem with this dead tissue (necrotizing) and either you or your vet is concerned about it, it might be worth considering Maggot Therapy (bio-debridement) If there are any feelings of horror or disgust about this treatment, I'll just mention that there have been remarkable results with this form of therapy, not only in stripping away necrotizing tissue but stimulating new growth of healthy tissue. This is used in veterinary medicine as well as Human medicine.
Avatar n tn Husband had headache with 103 fever off and on (mostly on) for more than a week. Finally, on the third time to the ER, they admitted him, diagnosing with pneumonia. He's been at the hospital for a week now, and although fever and headache gone, after CT scan and a couple other procedures, they just told him that his pneumonia hasn't gone away. The doctor said he's going to try different treatment, and tomorrow get a lung biopsy.
Avatar f tn He/she should learn how to treat patients according to treatment instruction label. Ill informed doctors lead to less successful cure rates in patients. When was your viral load was undetectable? Good luck!
757137 tn?1347196453 Hello, Unfortunately I am unaware of any such treatment for lipomas. Usually lipomas do not need any treatment unless they become painful or are cosmetically unpleasant. They are treated by simple excision which is done under local anesthesia. Other treatment options are liposuction and injection of compounds that trigger lipolysis, such as steroids or phosphatidylcholine. You should discuss these treatment options with your dermatologist.
Avatar n tn If you have a virus that resulted in pneumonia, while allopathic medicine has little in the way of anti-virals, there are plants that have anti-viral properties. Olive leaf and elderberry are two examples. Herb Pharm makes a tincture that helps with virus control. That being said, though, and assuming this is viral in nature, once you have pneumonia you have progressed significantly through the viral process already and the more important thing is clearing the lungs.
Avatar m tn ANYONE OUT THERE HAVE THE SAME . WOULD BE INTERESTED IN CORRESPONDING WITH YOU VIA INTERNET/TELEPHONE AS TO WHAT TREATMENT ETC YOU ARE RECEIVING. THANKING YOU WILLIAM This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/294967'>non-systemic vasculitis</a>.
Avatar m tn These complications can include dehydration, ear or sinus infections, and bacterial or viral pneumonia, which can fill the air sacs in the lungs with pus or fluid, making it difficult to breathe and depriving older patients of adequate oxygen. In some cases, pneumonia may be asymptomatic, but it is still contagious if it results from a bacterial or viral infection.
Avatar f tn If there is attendant difficulty of breathing, some patients are advised to undergo radiation treatment. Others would go for secondary chemotherapy. I'm assuming that your father is a smoker. Smokers generally have episodes of cough which may be accompanied by voice changes. The doctor would likely evaluate the need for antibiotics - and this treatment may improve both cough and hoarseness. Discuss your concerns with your doctor and come up with an acceptable plan.
620048 tn?1358018235 that is recommended for treatment of pneumonia. The steroid is probably more for your COPD then the pneumonia itself as your breathing is probably worse. In hospital they would have started you on IV steroids and then tapered you to the oral dose. most people stay in the hospital only a few days with moderate pneumonia. With the added respiratory problems maybe you would have stayed in another day or two. Depending on your respiratory status prior to the pneumonia could be 2-4 weeks.
1726450 tn?1316282511 It has been shown that patients with cirrhosis who develop influenza or pneumococcal pneumonia are much more likely to die than otherwise healthy people who develop these diseases.... ****."Vibrio vulnificus Infection: Vibrio vulnificus is an organism that lives in salt-water, particularly in the Southeast Atlantic and the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. However, infections have been reported from all coastal areas in the United States.
Avatar m tn I am a mother of an otherwise healthy 17 y/o male who has been recently diagnosed with Necrotizing myopathy without inflammation. Based on muscle biopsy, high CK, abnormal liver enzymes, and lack any other objective findings. His symptoms are fatigue, inabiltiy to exercise, maintain weight or muscle mass.
Avatar n tn Ending theprednisone will cause immediate excessmucus which can be dealth with by the inhaler. Initially you may need an hourly treatment. Maybe for the first six hours. Go to every six hours as soon as possible. Take two 800mg Ibuprifin with an eight hour intervalwith food the first day. Each subsequent day take 100mg Ibuprufin 1n 200mg doses at three hour intervals. This is a mild anti-inflammatory which will settle down the lung.
Avatar n tn iam just geting over pneumonia and i have started getting joint pain.
898849 tn?1241811271 I read a recent newstory that stated that Swine flu can be potentially more lethal in people with heart disease because medications used to reduce fluid build up in their lungs will fail to work as effectively if they catch the flu, also the stress of trying to fight off a fever can be too much for their hearts. Cardiologists are recommending that patients with heart disease be among the first to receive the Swine Flu vaccine.
Avatar f tn It brings to mind for me when my Mom was fighting cancer. She had always said if diagnosed with it she would elect to not take treatment as the treatment can be worse than the disease. It takes your dignity she said. Yet when she got it, she grasped at the treatment that would only give her a few more months to live, she lost her hair after the first chemo. Deathly sick to her stomach and weak. They gave her 6 weeks and she lasted 6 months and thru it all she suffered.
Avatar n tn Buddy was diagnosed with pneumonia and has gone through a course of doggy antibiotics and 3 courses of human antibiotics. The right lung is full of fluid. He would get better, then be energetic and get worse. It was suggested that he may not have pneumonia but CHF. Is there anything to do to help him. The vet doesn't seem to have any suggestions. Would a diuretic help? He's starting to not eat now.
Avatar f tn Even though studies on the natural history of this disorder have shown that the majority of patients recover within a few years after the attack without any treatment (although recovery is incomplete in many cases), it is a common practice, based on the pathophysiology and case series, to administer immunotherapy.
