Guest guest Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 You're making this up, Joy. Right? Those can't be medical terms. Crazy!! The new doc I saw ten days ago took a sputum sample and I'm looking forward to hearing what I've got going on in my lungs.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 hi Joan, Macro bacterium avian - related of avian flu? Psa = Pseudomonas aeruginosa, I thought E coli was more a hand-to-mouth thing... yes, interesting - but hope it's not making you ill! Am discovering (?) differences in terms such as " colonisation " , " infection " , that some of the stuff that turns up isn't always pathogenic (the stuff that makes us ill). Where I'm puzzled is eg Psa - is colonizes, and we get lung infx as a result ....?? Or has the stress of moving sozzled my brain. My carer seems to think so today... joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Mycobacterium avium is a non-contagious form of tuberculosis <http://www.lungdoc.md/PatientEd/MAI.htm>Pseudomonas aeruginosa <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudomonas_aeruginosa>I think that probably most of us have PSA colonization.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 thx for that info... and really interesting that so many of us have Psa colonisation... I've been given a vague impression by various health bods here that Psa is really on common to CF patients, rarer for bronch - does that happen in US as well? cheers joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 as of this minute, all seem under control. see me tomorrow, who knows. I never get rid of the MAC, but looking into the drug someone mentioned starting with a Z. I couldn't handle to 18 months med previously. maybe psa comes back often, or I never really get rid of it. e coli gone. not open day goes by that I don't cough up a pea sized green sputum. was cupfuls, so I'll take this. the thing is, I can never account for the times I get really out of breath. what I can do one day, maybe not the next, then ok.
