Symptoms of Common Pneumonias\nGeneral Symptoms.\n\n    * The symptoms of bacterial pneumonia develop abruptly and may include chest pain, fever, shaking, chills, shortness of breath, and rapid breathing and heart beat.\n\n    * Symptoms of pneumonia indicating a medical emergency include high fever, a rapid heart rate, low blood pressure, bluish-skin, and mental confusion.\n\n    * Coughing up sputum containing pus or blood is an indication of serious infection.\n\n    * Severe abdominal pain may accompany pneumonia occurring in the lower lobes of the lung.\n\n    * In advanced cases, the patient's skin may become bluish (cyanotic), breathing may become labored and heavy, and the patient may become confused. \n\n Symptoms of Pneumonia Causes by Anaerobic Bacteria\n\nPeople with pneumonia caused by anaerobic bacteria such as Bacteroides, which can produce abscesses, often have prolonged fever and productive cough, frequently showing blood in the sputum, which indicates necrosis (tissue death) in the lung. About a third of these patients experience weight loss. \n\n Symptoms of Atypical Pneumonia\nGeneral Symptoms for Atypical Pneumonias. Atypical nonbacterial pneumonia is most commonly caused by Mycoplasma and usually appears in children and young adults.\n\n    * Symptoms progress gradually, often beginning with general flu-like symptoms, such as fatigue, fever, weakness, headache, nasal discharge, sore throat, ear ache, and stomach and intestinal distress.\n\n    * Vague pain under and around the breast bone may occur, but the severe chest pain associated with typical bacterial pneumonia is uncommon.\n\n    * Patients may experience a severe hacking cough, but it usually does not produce sputum.

It sounds the the radiologist saw something lightning up near the root of the right lung, where its bronchioles and vessels converge.  It's just a descriptive phrase, so it doesn't give a diagnosis.  Hilar prominence could be nothing, or it could be inflammation, or it could be a sign associated with sarcoidosis, or it could be an infection, or it could be cancerous.  \n\nI really wouldn't get worked up about a phrase in a report.  Talk to the doctor for the whole story.

Hi! When a a disease is reported to the health department, it comes to ... ME! Here's what happens: \n\nWe receive a Confidential Morbidity Report (CMR)from either a lab, a hospital, private physician, veterinarian, etc. They either call us, fax us or mail us depending on the disease. Where i am, there are 85 reportables.\n\nWhen I get the CMR, I call the doctor to verify. We discuss whether the person is really sick or not (often we get false reports, usually lab results). Then I request documents (history/physical, ID consult, discharge summary) to examine the patient's history. My boss (who is a doctor, whereas I am en epidemiologist) and I talk about the patient.\n\nThen with my boss' green light, I sign a paper that says "Yes, this person is a case of _______ disease." Then the patient becomes a statistic in our computer. We do not release any of this info to the outside world. If I did, I'd be out of a job!\n\nSometimes, I have to call the patient. For example, when we do surveillance for brucellosis (a bioterrorism reportable), I need to ask the patient about travel and the foods they ate (common risk factors for the disease). The patient usually freaks out. Then I spend 15 minutes on the phone calming him/her down and assuring them I'm not going to arrest them or have them quarantined. I spend my 10 mintues asking questions off a report form. Then I hang up and get a cup of tea to calm myself down after getting yelled at by the patient (I'm small, cute and harmless -- why y'all yelling at me???).\n\nWhen I have my info together, I assemble a short report and sign it off. No names are used, and the documents i have get shredded.\n\nSo yeah, if you're worried about your hepatitis being reported, don't fret. We'll only keep you off work if you are a contagious hazard (like typhoid in food handlers). Otherwise, you are just another statistic in my computer, or a piece of paper in my inbox.

It can be associated with any number of things. Don't jump to any conclusions. I suggest setting up an appointment with your doctor and let him know your current situation. They should be able to get you in sooner this way. \n\nPlease be cautious about accepting medical advice here. It is open to the public and even though many times the information is helpful,it does not take the place of seeing you physician.\n\nBest of luck to you.

Noting the date and time of medical symptoms, problems, temporary improvement can be very useful to the doctor and other medical personnel.  These cannot be remembered without recording.  Depending on the condition, observations can also include each day's diet, periodic weight, exercise, missed medications, whatever is pertinent.
