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.
In addition to rabbits and other wild rodents, tularemia can also be carried by beaver and muskrats. Humans, dogs, cats, fish, birds, pigs, and horses can get the disease. Sheep are especially vulnerable; cattle are rarely affected. Symptoms of Rabbit Fever Tularemia is seen more often in cats than dogs, and in young versus adult animals. A pet with a mild infection may show no symptoms or may suffer briefly from lack of appetite, lethargy, and a low-grade fever.
