Question 1

My dad just got a positive corona test result, but apart from a fever hovering around 99-100F, he doesn't really have any other symptoms. It's been a week since the test, and to be safe, we got an X-ray done. The report mentioned something about "Prominent branchovascular markings bilaterally." He's quarantining at home at the moment. Can you help me understand what those markings mean? Also, he's diabetic, but it's pretty well managed. I'm just trying to figure out if there's anything else we should be worried about.

Accepted Answer

The prominent branchovascular markings in the X-ray report suggest some mild changes in the blood vessels of the lungs, which can sometimes occur due to infections like COVID-19. Since your father is asymptomatic except for the mild fever and his diabetes is under control, its good that he's in quarantine. Monitoring his symptoms and maintaining regular blood sugar checks will be important during his recovery.

Question 2

I'm a bit worried about something I read in a report: there's something called a "suspicious infiltration" in my right upper lobe. I work full-time, and I'm wondering if that's okay, considering this condition? Should I be concerned about continuing my job as usual?

Accepted Answer

need to check clinically and let it know

Question 3

I've got my CT results back showing a 2.8cm mass, and my sputum test came out positive for TB. I'm really confused about what to do next. Should I start with AKT4 treatment right away, or do I still need to get a biopsy done first?

Accepted Answer
