Subject: DL branc -recurrent croup

Pt with recurrent episodic croup "PLAN: s/l "DL branc," rule out anatomical narrowing. Did briefly discuss reflux, but I would like to do a s/l "DL branc" beforehand to make sure there is not an anatomic issue.


The only DL branc that I could find had to do with TB, but this is a pediatric pt with no previous hx of TB etc.

Interestingly the PET scan revealed minimal FDG uptake in the right thyroid bed consistent with the right anterior tracheal lesion, and also minimal uptake in what is believed to be persistent thymic tissue in the "intra-media-stynum", but nowhere else is it noted.  MRI was reviewed as well.  This confirms a 1.4 cm enlarged lymph node on the right side at the level of C3......

This doc is dictating as if he is sitting near a sleeping infant and is afraid of waking it up. He's almost whispering - very hard to understand anything at all.

A 7-year-old with a pmh of s/l CMRSA boils.

Don't know if it is as I have it, or if it is cMRSA (both are found with google). He may be saying CA-MRSA boils, which I also found with google, although

I can't imagine anything else, but you know what happens if we type the wrong word.  Any other ideas from anyone?


Frankly, he can't pronounce very many other words, either, so he may well mean cellulitis.


Many thanks, though!

The patient swallowed a fentanyl patch.  This is the discharge summary and in it, the ESL doctor says, "Transaminitis, most probably secondary to N A L D vs Lortab intoxication."  She never says these letters again and all I can document is neonatal adrenoleukodystropy.  Since she's almost 60, I don't think that would fit.
