Question 1

what do you do to treat pseudomonas repeated uti and weakened immune system due to long term antibiotic use?

Accepted Answer

Repeat UTI's: I would suggest you see a urologist to arrive at a diagnosis of what is causing your having repeat uti's. One of the causes is an anatomical problem of your urinary system. You will need a renal ultrasound and perhaps a xray of your kidneys, ureters and bladder. Have your urine cultured to make sure your doctor is giving you an effective antibiotic. How do you know your immune system is weak?

Question 2

can a malignant thymoma weaken the immune system?

Accepted Answer

Age related: In adults there is little evidence that there is a negative impact on the immune system . This in not the case in children.

Question 3

do people with chronic bronchitis have a weakened immune system?

Accepted Answer

Depends: lower airways, bronchi, are affected in many diseases, immunodeficiency states are one sort of diseases that affect all exposed surfaces, airways, gastrointestinal tract and skin, but those are very rare diseases, more common though are the type of airway inflammation in the immunocompetent persons as asthma, COPD, especially in smokers, producing symptoms of fatigue and recurrent infections

Question 4

what are the odds of mild cervical  displaysia going away on its own with a weakened immune system?

Accepted Answer

Cervical dysplasia: This depends upon the cause of the cervical dysplasia and what you mean by a weakened immune system. If the dysplasia was related to hpv infection, or to other vaginal infection it may not self-correct . This should be discussed in depth with your gynecologist.

Question 5

i have had recurring impetigo for the 3rd time. the first time i was given a topical and oral antibiotic..then i was put on another oral antibiotic that i just finished a few days ago. do i need to be worried about my immune system?

Accepted Answer

: The worries about immune system would not help, it would only make it worse even if you have immune system dysfunction. I would suggest that you pay attention more to daily hygiene and probably use of antiseptic or learn bleach bath to reduce chances of recurring impetigo.

Question 6

could a tear in the aorta and valve problems weaken the immune system?

Accepted Answer

Aortic dissection?: If you survive the aortic tear, it will not weaken the immune system.

Question 7

if i get infected by hiv, will my immune system be weakened in less than a month?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Very much so. During the acute illness, CD4 levels have dropped so low that quite a few people have gotten pneumocystis. Happily, they bounce back and hopefully the illness can be managed. Now why are you asking? I hope all's well. Your physician can help you if you're worried about having become infected, and I hope you'll be safe and not end up at risk.

Question 8

if a absolute lymphocyte count is 1.08k/ul does that mean the immune system is weakened?

Accepted Answer

: It depends on the entire picture which is based on seeing the patient and examining them in person

Question 9

i keep having canker sores while my immune system is good. what other than a weakened immune system can cause this?

Accepted Answer

Canker sores: Most people who develop canker sores do not suffer from a compromised immune system.  Stress and local irritation are often the cause.

Question 10

is there any relation between ringworm and immune system, such as, a person who get it repeatedly, and does ringworm weaken immune system if that person get it repeatedly as well?

Accepted Answer

Not particularly: Ringworm is one issue that has little to do with the immune system &amp; more to do with exposures. It affects the skin surface &amp; does not routinely trigger any sort of immune response in anyone. Another issue is the label as many things that may appear to be ringworm are not and may represent another  condition that could have immune related issues.
