Hello Dr, I had a lung biopsy last week and the results have come in. Have appointment next week with my Dr (Pulmonary Specialist), yet I really would like some answers as to what this report means. I am not a doctor but I like seeing benign, etc. Can you help? Report reads
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Your biopsy report is suggestive of fungal infection in lung. Fungal schedules under microscopy is the diagnostic evidence for fungal infection of lung. Another supportive evidences in your report are1. Negative for AFB (TB is ruled out)2. Chronic necrotizing inflammation with histiocytic infiltration.3. GMS and PAS stain positive. All these favor fungal infection with coccoidiodomycosis (fungus). So better to consult pulmonologist and start antifungal Chat Doctor.
