What Causes Empyema And Pseudomonas Infection Post Lung Transplant Surgery?
Chances of improvement are very less.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your husband's situation and problem.
Empyema is common infective complication post lung transplant surgery.
And pseudomonas infection is always chronic and stays long.
The best treatment for chronic empyema is Video Assistant Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS).
Yes, you are right about surgical stress and post operative complications. But VATS is the only curative option for him in chronic empyema. So chances of improvement are very less in his case.
Please let me know
1. Have you tested for empyema fluid culture and sensitivity?
2. Have you ruled out tuberculosis ?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wishing good health to your husband.
Thanks.
