SUMMARY of RESULTS of LUNG CT SCAN on Dec 3 at QCH Feb 28, 2009
As told to me by Dr.E Kyrillos at The Family Medicine Clinic on Feb 20, 2009
GENERAL:
1 There is a cyst at the apex of segments 5 and 6 of the liver. The remainder of liver is unremarkable.
2 At the upper pole of right Kidney, there is a 1.9 cm lesion
3 In left lower lobe there is a 5 mm nodular density
4 In right lower lobe, there is a irregular speculated 1.2 cm mass and adjacent to this is a 6 mm nodule
OPINION :
There are 2 new irregular masses in lower lobe of right lung that were not present in prior CT Scan of July, 2008. Could be related to a typical infection such as MAI, However Neoplasm in not excluded therefore follow up CT Scan is recommended in 3 months (March)
Ultrasound test on right kidney is recommended to check or confirm that the lesion is not a solid renal mass
BATERIA FROM SPUTEM SAMPLE on Feb 20, 2009 revealed bacteria called PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA
This bacteria can only be treated with five different antibiotics according to Dr Kyrillos
Was prescribed APO-CIPROFLOX 750 MG or Ciprofloxacin HCL 750 MG om Fed 26.
FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENT with DR E Kyrilos is to be made after next CT Scan and Ultrasound test on right kidney.
