Results on my PET scan. Can someone help me out? I am getting a PET scan tomorrow at 1:30 because my CAT scan showed 2 Nogules on one of my lungs. Can someone please tell me how soon after it, can I get my results and who do I get the results from? I am a smoker and I have COPD. I am on Oxygen 24/7.
Tularemia is a serious infectious disease caused by the intracellular bacterium Francisella tularensis. It causes fever, and sometimes ulceration at the site of entry and/or swelling of nearby lymph nodes. It can cause severe pneumonia.
The disease is caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis. It can be life-threatening. The various forms of tularemia are distinguished by where the bacteria enter the body. The most common form of the disease is caused by skin contact with the bacteria. The deadliest form of the disease is caused by inhaling the bacteria. Tularemia can often be treated with antibiotics. Early treatment offers a good outlook for complete recovery. However, some severe cases may be fatal even with treatment.
