Hi my sister has granulomatous on her lungs and nose cancer,can this be cause from mold in her home. I have been very worried because when you go in her home the musky smell is very strong and I know for a fact they have had a bath tub draining straight under there house for 8 yrs, please help. .
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your sisters situation and condition. Granulomatous lung disease can be caused by tuberculosis, fungal infection or acidosis. Since she is having exposure to molds, possibility of fungal infection is more. But better to rule out tuberculosis as it is common in cancer patients due to poor immunity. So she may need biopsy from the granulators lesion to confirm the diagnosis. First diagnose herself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your sister. Thanks.
