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- ♀ (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- ♀ (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- ♀ (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- ♀ (60 bytes) () 07/08/2014 postreply 07:14:57

• 是的，的确有可能是运动性血尿。。。 -御用文人- ♀ (0 bytes) () 07/08/2014 postreply 07:57:25

• 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- ♀ (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- ♀ (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 - ♀ (0 bytes) () 07/08/2014 postreply 05:15:58
