Meaning of A Typical

[Guest guest]

I just talked to my gf, who's a chronic care ICU nurse..she told me " A typical " means unknown, or comes with the territory. So your doctor was explaining to you that your Bronch or it's origination are unknown or the symptoms of your bronch are not unusual...Sandie in MD

" Atypical " is also used to describe some bugs that have characteristics

of TB but are nor contagious or involve other organs. They look like a

lung infection and require antibiotics but only for about a year.

They sure are better than the real (typical) thing.

Hi Tolly, Actually, antibiotic treatment is required for 18-24 months. The meds are strong and can have a number of side effects, but the treatment is generally worthwhile. Unfortunately, Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) can come back again, but its hoped one treatment time will combat the infection.

I live in Toronto Canada, I was lucky only getting the *A*typical type

of pneumonia. I was exposed to all sorts of bacteria, viruses by

having to help care of my parents who were hospitalized in two

different hospitals, moved around for other procedures/surgery to a

total of 4 hospitals. No one is really sure what I caught that year.

One hospital where the SARS broke out, thought the patient had

*Atypical type of pneumonia* All hell broke lose when it turned out

to be SARS. After a second outbreak of SARS about 40 people

including a doctor and a number of nurses had died.

Since that time, I take any kind of bacteria in my lungs very serious.

Not to be taken lightly especially living in a large metropolitan

area where people are constantly travelling to different countries,

coming from various countries. I was also exposed to one patient with

live TB, MRSA, staph. I was dx with the streptococcus pneumoniae b.

a year ago. I have no idea if it's still there, I guess that would

require another bronchoscopy to determine whether it's still there. I

hate having to go through another one. Time will tell.
