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.
A diagnosis of tularemia is made by a thorough clinical evaluation, a detailed patient history, and a variety of tests that may include an attempt to isolate the bacteria from blood or body tissue or through specialized blood tests (serologic tests) that measure the bodyâs immune system response against the bacterium.
