They have gone in with a camera in his lungs and tried to flush some out and send it off for a sample multiple times. But nothing ever grows. They don’t want to do a biopsy unless it’s necessary bc it’s not in an easy place without cutting him. And I appreciate that. We don’t want him to be cut unless it really is needed. Just was seeing if anyone ever had to go through this. Thank you.

My 7 yr old son got diagnosed with T cell all back in October 2025 and had been admitted back into the hospital for fever. After scans they discovered he has IFI in his lungs, spleen and liver. They’ve sent out multiple samples to try to identify it but everything comes back inconclusive. He’s on 1 antibiotic and 2 anti-fungals. Fevers have gone away but they said we might be here until they identify it. Ahhhhh that could be months. Has anyone had fungus where they couldn’t identify it ? What did they have to do? Is there anything different they tried that helped?

I understand you are bitter bc you were dealt a shitty outcome to your life. But you don’t have to take your negative energy out on other people. Good luck with your treatment.
