Re: another scenario/presentation

Quote:
  • 14 yr old BM
  • vitals wnl except temp of 100.5 F
  • pt appears much smaller physically than the typical villager for his age
  • reported malaise
  • history of prior episodes similar to current
  • cc of deep pain in his legs which has been prevalent since early childhood
  • pt has several small ulcerations on his shins from insect bites
What does "prior episodes" mean in this case? guessing the malaise and the fever. Ulcerations not neccesarily related to this episode. The eyes look really yellow. Malaria?
