Question 1

Accepted Answer

Pneumonitis/ Pneumon: This report indicates that you have a small patch of Pneumonia located next to your heart(on the right side). If you have symptoms of pneumonia your doctor would/should have given you an antibiotic. Do you have any fever or chest pain?? Call up your doctor for antibiotics, if not already given.

Question 2

2. heart not enlarged
3.mediastinal vessels are normal
4. diaphragm and bony thorax are unremarkable
5.clinical correlation sugg?

Accepted Answer

Inflammatory: There are inflammatory changes resulting in these findings most likely. Other causes include infection. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available for review of the actual image. Correlate to your symptoms.

Question 3

i got an xray for lungs last september 12 and i mentioned that there is a sign for paracardiac pneumonia. but i was not able to get the result checked?

Accepted Answer

Another : Chest xray might alleviate your fears. In all likelihood your pneumonia healed without leaving a trace. If you feel well doing nothing more is also a very reasonable approach.

Question 4

patches of consolidation  in the right paracardiac region and parahilar region means?

Accepted Answer

Abnormal chest X-Ray: This may be pneumonia, but it would be best if your physician sat down with the radiologist and reviewed the xray. Your physician would describe your symptoms and physical findings and the radiologist would state his opinion and suggest any further studies deemed advisable. Referral to a specialist may also be suggested.

Question 5

can a 3 cm rounded mass like opacity in the perihilar region be some kind of pneumonia? does it have to mean cancer?

Accepted Answer

It is one such possi: Any rounded mass in the lung/chest raises a question of Cancer, yet it can be benign. You need a good doctor who can investigate it further and do a diagnostic test such as biopsy which is essentially the only way to determine and confirm the nature of this mass.

Question 6

there is
mild infiltrates seen in the right infrahilar region..
diagnosed with aspirating pneumonia on left side now having burning pain on my right s?

Accepted Answer

Not completely: Sure what the question is exactly, but an “infiltrate “ on a chest X-ray is certainly consistent with a pneumonia

Question 7

can i go to work if i have bronchitis? got a chest x ray & the doctor said looks good no sign of pneumonia. in report it says mild thickening of the bronchial walls, most notably within the right hilar region and lung bases seen on lateral radigraph?

Accepted Answer

: Unless you are coughing excessively it would be okay to return to work if you feel up to it. If you have fever, then it would not be proper to return to work.

Question 8

what does non-specific pneumonitis mean?

Accepted Answer

It means...: ...That it does not look like any particular recognizable type. Most viral pneumonitis, as well as mycoplasma, have a nonspecific appearance on xray, while pneumococcal pneumonia usually looks like a slice of pie.

Question 9

can a bipap cause pneumonitis?

Accepted Answer

Haven't heard of it: Anything is possible so it's best to check with the pulmonary or sleep medicine doctor who started the bipap. Bipap can cause stomach bloating, so if one were to reflux acidic fluid more easily, he could get chemical pneumonitis if small amounts of the fluid got into the lungs. Maybe the outward flow of lung mucus is altered, which might decrease his ability to prevent viral/bacterial pneumonitis.

Question 10

what are symptoms of bronchitis or pneumonitis?

Accepted Answer

Symptoms include...: Symptoms of acute bronchitis include cold symptoms, cough productive of sputum, fever, body aches, wheezing, decreased appetite, fatigue, etc. Not every symptom needs to be present. The symptoms of acute pneumonitis can be very similar although the cough and sputum production symptoms are typically not as severe unless bronchospasm is present.
