Question 1

I'm really worried about my dad's CT HRCT report since he's 50 today, and I just don't fully understand it. The findings say things like "pulmonary interstitium is normal bilaterally," and theres no "nodular shadowing" or "ground glass haze." The report also mentions the "peribronchovascular tissue is unremarkable," which sounds like a good thing, but Im not sure. Plus, it says no "pleural effusion" or "calcification" is seen, and the "cardiovascular markings are of normal caliber." The impression just says "normal study." Does this mean everythings okay, and theres really nothing to worry about? Could you explain it so I can be sure Im understanding this right?

Accepted Answer

need not worry , its normal

Question 2

My dad has been struggling with breathing and coughing a lot lately. We just got his test results, and it says there are prominent bronchovascular markings in his bilateral lung fields. I'm worried and not sure what this means. Could this explain why he's having these symptoms? What steps should we take next?

Accepted Answer

CONSULT PULMONOLOGIST

Question 3

I'm really worried about my sister. She's been dealing with whooping cough and a bit of trouble breathing. We first saw a pulmonologist who said it might be because of her high white blood cell count, which is at 17,000. He gave her Hetrazan 100 and Cefpo 200 a week ago, but she's still coughing a lot. Today, we went to see a more senior pulmonologist and he thinks it might actually be asthma. He prescribed things like duolin rotacaps, seroflo rotacaps 250, levosalbutamol, ipratropium bromide, and mebendazole. I'm just confusedis this because of the high white blood cell count or is it asthma?

Accepted Answer

it is due to asthma

My dad's been dealing with a lung infection from COVID for the past three months. We just got his latest X-ray, and I'm curious to know how much the infection has progressed this time. Can you help explain what the report shows about his current lung infection?

Patient is advised chest x-ray pa view and sputum for AFB bacilli and microscopy tests.
