Question 1

What does a titer level of 1:4 for big k antibody mean in pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Kell antibody comes from the mother having been exposed to Kell-positive blood either by blood transfusion, or by a previous pregnancy with a baby who has the Kell antigen (which the baby gets from the father).
The Kell antibody can be very dangerous to the baby if the current baby is Kell-positive.
You need to test this baby's father for his Kell antigen type (NOT antibody; antigen).

Question 2

When pregnant my older sister had big panel of antibody studies done due to multiple miscarriages. if abnormal, will she have lifelong problem?

Accepted Answer

If she has a positive anti-phospholipid antibody , which can cause miscarriages, she may have a life-long propensity to clotting, but this condition may be managed.  This positive antibody may occur alone, or in association with other autoimmune cconditions, such as lupus. These conditions can vary widely in their severity.

Question 3

From february 2019 lymph nodes inflamed up to 1 cm very painful just cervical and very big rigidity. i performed the analysis for hiv, hepatitis b and c, antinuclear antibodies, blood smear, toxoplasmoza, borellia, cervical mri.help me please?

Accepted Answer

You can be confident the cause is not any of the infections for which you were tested. Hard to say anything about the MRI, since you don't say what it showed. No distant forum can solve this sort of problem:  you need to see a doctor in person. If abnormal lymph nodes are confirmed or suspicious, biopsy to sample or remove one of the nodes may be required. Good luck.

Question 4

If my tonsil is swollen and i have 2 white patches not very big.do i need antibiotics?just took last month how can i recover without antibiotics?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like you had a similar event last month which responded to antibiotics. You may wait and see if you can weather the problem without antibiotics. If your symptoms worsen, see your MD for exam and perhaps another course of antibiotics.
If you have repeated episodes of tonsillitis, see ENT about tonsillectomy.

Question 5

I got a blood in my urine and inflamation. what can i do to heal it faster? i got 1 day antibiotics for it, but im not sure if its enough, pain is big

Accepted Answer

I hope you mean 1-a-day antibiotics and not antibiotics for a single day.  There are afew antibiotics given as 1-a-day. Your UTI may be due to a resistant organism if you have been taking it for at least three days without relief. In which case you need to go on another antibiotic. Would be a good idea to have aurine culture with drug sensitivities, if not done already. If done check sensitivities.

Question 6

Went to dr yesterday have tonsillitis just got antibiotics when will the big white patches and pain clear up? also have anxiety over it spreading2lungs

Accepted Answer

The tonsils will improve over the next 48 -  72 . It is not common for tonsillitis to spread to the lungs especially since you are now on antibiotics that will destroy the bacteria.

Question 7

30 by 6 by 3 mm is the size of the cyst i have on my overies. went to emergency room and they just put me on 2 powerful antibiotics. is this normal or a cyst? and how big or small is this?

Accepted Answer

Ovarian cyst of that size is not uncommon and I do not think those antibiotics for this cyst. What were your symptoms and what was the diagnosis by ER doctor?

Question 8

I had 2 corns removed from my big toes 2 days later they were infected.. it has been two weeks two rounds of antibiotics and they are still infected?

Accepted Answer

Your doctor will need to reexamine  you and determine the next step.

Question 9

Does unilateral chronictonsilitis go away w/ antibiotic & the tonsil becomes normal size or will it always be inflamed-the 1 big tonsil i have.. 3 days into amoxil (amoxicillin) is about 10%smaller but that's it, ca?

Accepted Answer

We can not say for sure without knowing how long you have had chronic tonsillitis and the tonsilar swelling
you are being treated with antibiotics for an acute episode of tonsillitis and seem to be getting better as swelling is gone down
i suggest you finish the course of Amoxicillin and follow up with your doctor or an ENT specialist.

Question 10

I fall down my bike and my arm got hurt.it was about to gt infected but itook an antibiotic.however there is still a big mark on myarm so wht can ido?

Accepted Answer

Never let a small cut in the skin fool you. It is not unusual to see severe infections which came on after a small cut requiring surgery and long term antibiotic therapy. If the swelling, redness and pain at the site of the cut is worsening, seek immediate medical attention. Often a stronger antibiotic is needed. A tetanus shot may also be needed depending on your immunization status.
