Have persistent atypical pnuemonia for 7 weeks. got ebus. what are possible reasons for this ongoing pnuemonia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tricky: obviously. Narrowing down what you mean by pneumonia is the first thing. Infiltrate on the x ray ? Fine, it takes a month to go away in everyone. Cough? Fine at best takes a month. Fever, chills, rigors and cough? well, culture it, HIV associated ones NOT ruled out. The first female HIV cohort had NO risk factors in the majority of women. TB, fungal, other atypical organisms NOT routinely got.
