Guest guest Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I decided to post one question at a time. So please bear with me. Thank you! My new Pulmodude requested all new blood tests. He said that one of them was positive for " vasculitis " . I had a bronchoscope about 2 weeks ago and he said that the cultures show no chronic infections. Thankfully! BUT, the cultures did not show the vasculitis. I need to have more blood work for verification of the vasculitis. He said that if the new tests show up negative, then he may want to do open lung biopsies. If the tests show up positive, then he may want to put me on Prednisone. Prednisone makes me diabetic so he said I would have to take insulin shots. My question is....has anyone experienced " vasculitis " ? Thanks for your help.
