update #2: treatment is in progress

this is a follow-up report on bbs.wenxuecity.com/health/456124.html.  for all of you who answered/commented/suggested treatment, my wife and i thank you so much...
------------------------------------------------------

it's been a long day today...  after treated in urgent care, dw was transferred to a major hospital emergency room.
the following lab tests have been done:
- blood
- urine
- xray for lung
- ultrasound for entire left leg

the consensus from er drs:
- not sepsis
- not lyme decease
- very unlikely a hsp
- not sure what it is as it does not fit in textbook's patterns, so treating it as vasculitis and cellulitis combined

medicine has been/is being used:
- tetanus shot
- iv with vancomycin
- for fever (still 101f), ibuprofen as needed

dw stays in a regular room now, and her condition is under monitoring.

to be updated...

不像HSP,因为只有一条腿有问题,而且这条腿上损害也很局限,面积很小。 -志在千里- 给 志在千里 发送悄悄话 (3227 bytes) () 07/07/2014 postreply 23:44:06

确诊了血管炎和蜂窝组织炎吗?现在的治疗还是在尝试性治疗, 未诊断。。。? -御用文人- 给 御用文人 发送悄悄话 (0 bytes) () 07/08/2014 postreply 00:00:46

也就是说,医生认为泌尿系统感染和皮肤感染(蜂窝织炎)是同时发生的两个分别的疾患。现在的尿液化验结果有进步吗? -御用文人- 给 御用文人 发送悄悄话 (0 bytes) () 07/08/2014 postreply 00:55:30

如果仅仅是蜂窝组织炎,那么静脉滴注敏感的抗菌素,一周之内就可以出院了。祝贺你。 -御用文人- 给 御用文人 发送悄悄话 (60 bytes) () 07/08/2014 postreply 07:14:57

我把几种病连合在一起考虑了。结果是几种病凑巧同时发生的。 -御用文人- 给 御用文人 发送悄悄话 (0 bytes) () 07/08/2014 postreply 11:27:49

有皮损的皮肤红,正常的白,界线分明,就不大像全身性的病(紫癜) -志在千里- 给 志在千里 发送悄悄话 (0 bytes) () 07/08/2014 postreply 00:00:48

说明医生以前的诊断也没错,口服抗生素不给力,现改为静脉给药而且是万古霉素,很快会见效的。 -betadine - 给 betadine   发送悄悄话 (0 bytes) () 07/08/2014 postreply 05:15:58
