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.
Alpha thalassemia is a blood disorder that reduces the production of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to cells throughout the body. In people with the characteristic features of alpha thalassemia, a reduction in the amount of hemoglobin prevents enough oxygen from reaching the body's tissues. Affected individuals also have a shortage of red blood cells (anemia), which can cause pale skin, weakness, fatigue, and more serious complications.
