有個問題請教
病人因咳嗽,疼痛現停止化療,做了sputum culture , 排除了TB,但是病人做了一些研究,結合症況,感覺是一種叫klebsiella的細菌,但是醫生不同意做培養。
it's not in your best interest to continually check sputum for bacteria.
it puts chemo on hold until things are investigated further , which cause unhelpful delays
there is an enormous difference between bacteria that are colonizing damage airways , for this reason , i can not in good conscience as your doctor order bacterial culture on your sputum unless you dont want to do the chemo .
不知道如果真有這種細菌而繼續化療,會怎樣?
