Anyone Had A Consolidation In Their Lung?

[Asexyblond23]

I found this in one of my CT scan results. Anyone had this? Know exaclty what it means? I have never had anything like this. I have also been on antibodics for 7 months straight when this popped up. Can it be fixed or is it here forever?

Hey Alisha, I don't know what that is, I have never heard of it. Did your doc explain it at all? I tried to PM you back the other day, but I couldn't get the computer to work. I will try again later.

I googled consolidation of the lung and this is what I found...well I found a lot but this was one of the first and it seemed to sum it up.

Lung consolidation: Consolidation occurs when the normally air filled lung parenchyma becomes engorged with fluid or tissue, most commonly in the setting of pneumonia. If a large enough segment of parenchyma is involved, it can alter the transmission of air and sound. In the presence of consolidation, fremitus becomes more pronounced.

To me this sounds like something that would be pretty normal and not exciting for a CFer. Basically theres crap in our lungs thats altering the free exchange of air. Big surprise in that. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">
