Chest lymphocytes swelling

Male | 30

Swelling in lymph nodes within the chest can arise from various factors, including infections, inflammation, or occasionally more serious conditions. Common accompanying symptoms may include coughing, pain, or fever. It’s essential to monitor any ongoing issues, such as persistent swelling or discomfort. Starting with rest, hydration, and over-the-counter pain relievers can be beneficial. However, I recommend consulting a hematologist for a thorough evaluation and tailored guidance, ensuring your health is prioritized.

Dear Doctor, Due to my father's high blood viscosity, suspicion of polycythemia arises, necessitating blood draws every 3 weeks to maintain appropriate levels. At 69 years old, he experiences symptoms such as skin itching, swelling, head numbness, and fatigue. Currently, his JAK2 V617F mutation showed 0.8 then 1.2%, with JAK2 exon 12 negative and EPO at 13.4. Abdominal CT and chest X-ray are normal. After a few months of phlebotomy, his levels normalized. Now, we await the bone marrow biopsy results, which do not confirm Polycythemia Vera: "Microscopic description: The bone marrow biopsy sample shows somewhat hypocellular hematopoietic parenchyma relative to age, which is terminally mature. Myeloid ratio is 2:1 with dominance of late precursors; no blast cells are noted. The number of megakaryocytes is normal with no clustering. There is no interstitial fibrosis or lymphoid infiltrate. Diagnosis: Mature, hypocellular hematopoietic parenchyma without myeloproliferative features. Cytogenetic analysis confirmed male karyotype; no clonal chromosomal abnormalities detected. Indication for examination D7510 Secondary polycythemia Note Submicroscopic rearrangements, small structural chromosomal aberrations, DNA-level differences cannot be ruled out with the method used." I am quite confused as JAK2 positivity typically suggests PV, yet the biopsy suggests otherwise, possibly indicating secondary polycythemia. Could you please clarify based on this information what you personally think is more likely, Polycythemia Vera or another secondary cause? Thank you very much for your help.

Your father's symptoms and test results do suggest some complexity. The presence of JAK2 mutation often points towards Polycythemia Vera (PV), but the bone marrow biopsy does not show typical myeloproliferative features, suggesting it might be secondary polycythemia instead. Consult a hematologist, specializing in blood disorders, and can provide a more accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.

Diagnosed with anemia. Temperature dropping rapidly. Weakness in body. Lack of will to do work. Need spontaneous suggestions regarding medical assistance.

Female | 49

If you suspect you might have anemia, regardless of your age, it's important to inform your doctor. Anemia occurs when your body lacks enough red blood cells, leading to symptoms like weakness, fatigue, and feeling cold. Iron deficiency or other underlying health issues can cause anemia. To address this, you may need to eat iron-rich foods like spinach, meat, and beans. Consult your doctor about iron supplements that can help boost your red blood cell count and energy levels.

Hello doc. Can an adult male contract hiv if he ingested breast milk of an infected person.

Male | 32

The likelihood of an adult male contracting HIV through consuming infected breast milk is extremely low but not impossible. HIV typically spreads through specific fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk. Symptoms of HIV may include fatigue, fever, rash, and swollen lymph nodes, though many remain asymptomatic initially. If you have concerns about potential exposure, consider consulting a healthcare professional for guidance and testing. Remember, early detection and treatment can greatly improve health outcomes, so seeking expert advice is always a wise choice.
