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?
