No antibiotics for me, just information on not doing any contact sports,  Lymphadenopathy, Splenomegaly, CD of my CT Scans (had 2) and my lab work to give my doctor. My doctor appt is not until the 20th. The Doctor also said I was anemic, I reviewed past lab work and since 2008 I have had anemia.

Hi, all of that would seem to be accountable from a regional inflammation the midsection. Did they give you antibiotics?

AFAIK, that would include the low attenuation areas in the spleen.

Which terms were you especially interested in?
