Now how are u
we want ppt presentation for the same lecture
Great lecture!! serum NT-Pro BNP levels are as useful as pleural fluid levels for the diagnosis of CHF associated pleural effusion.
10th of March this year i had symptoms of difficult in breathing together with severe sharp pains around my lungs regions.
I took chest xray and it showed i had pleural effusion more on my right lung. Doctors gave me antibiotics (AZUMA-Azithromycine) in which i took them for five days i started to feel well... and then I had my heart, kidney and liver examined and the results were just fine. So doctors thought my pleural effusion might have been caused by pneumonia so they gave me Ceftriaxone.
9th of April i took xray it showed very small amount of pleural effusion on my right lung. At this point I was recovering.
Then May 1st i started experiencing the same symptoms as of march, chest pains and heaviness, difficult in breathing, pains at my back.. All of it indicating pleural effusion.
6th of may this year the doctors started me the Anti-TB drugs, in which i am using them to this day more than a month and a week but my condition is still getting worse.
Need your help/advice
you need to have a thoracentesis done to determine the cause (infectious vs. malignant vs. rheumatologic, etc) of your persistent pleural effusion. This is standard of care.
How are you now
Same with my mom. 4 time drain 1.2 litre 2 time pigtail . two Dr is confused in cancer or TB .only biopsy left ..after biopsy Dr will decide what to do...
