Summary form
Hi,
This is a handwritten form from Quebec.
Under "Concomitant diagnoses" I have the following:
s/p MAC pulmonaire
s/ PPD + Tx 6 mois 2007 (the plus sign is circled)
s/p PNA bactériémique
s/p VPPB
I think PPD might be an English acronym for either "posterior polymorphous dystrophy" or for "purified protein derivative" which is a tuberculosis test....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Joanna
