Does fungal infection creat PUSS??????????

[Guest guest]

I had biospy done of small cyst in my pancreas last Friday. I have

had feeling of swelling there that caused catscan and now biospy to

be done. Test came back low to moderate CEA, which is marker of

cancer. Marker can mean other things. Doctor said level was not

high enough to be concerned but would like to relook at this next

year. Even though he said he drained small cyst, I still have

feeling of swelling there. I told him ahead of time and now I feel

like I have inflamation there and wish they would send biospy to be

tested for 'pathogens' but he didn't send it to pathology because he

said he could 'tell' it wasn't infected *because there was no PUSS.

Okay, I know bacterial infection would have puss, but what about

fungal infection? Does anyone know if fungal infections also present

with puss? He said I would have puss there and have a fever. I

don't think so. It says fever for acute pancreatitis but not

chronic, and chronic pancreatitis can lead to pancreatic cancer so

*as usual* feel might become victim of lack of care...what's new.

So, does anyone know if fungal infection produces puss, like

bacterial infection?

Second question, does anyone know who I can send biopsied material,

if they haven't throw it out, to for second opinion on it?

Thanks
