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.
Pneumonic tularemia is caused by inhaling the bacteria or spread of the bacteria through the bloodstream to the lungs. This type develops in 10 to 15% of people with ulceroglandular tularemia and in 50% of people with typhoidal tularemia.
