I am at my brother s house while he is at the hospital. he called and asked question. he wants to know about what is going to happen now. what is the prognosis? she has endocarditis and pericarditis and now they found a hole in one of the lungs
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. By your history and description, I think your sister-in-law is having severe pneumonia, with respiratory failure which leads to mechanical ventilation and ventilator induced pneumothorax (hole in the lung). All these events favors poor prognosis. Pneumothorax in ventilated patient is very, very difficult to treat. It causes lung collapse and cyanosis (blue colored skin). So, sorry to say, but she is not having good prognosis, as infection has spread in heart too. So better to discuss prognosis in depth with treating doctor.
