CLINICAL HISTORY
Chief Complaint: presence of pus on both feet
Three months prior to consult, patient was exposed to wading in flood water. Both feet resulted to dry, crusting lesions and presence of pinpoint rashes and later
turned to vesicles, described as reddish, itchy, with regular borders. No other accompanying signs and symptoms such as fever, chills, vomiting, skin discoloration, headache,
dizziness, blurring of vision, and abdominal pain. Patient went for consult at a private MD and was advised to do CBC, revealing Cellulitis as its diagnosis. He was given the
following meds: Sultamicillin 650 mg/tab 1 tab BID, Levocetirizine 750 mg/tab BID, Hydroxyzine (Iterax) 1 tab BID, Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) 1 tab q6 and Mupirocin
ointment. Patient was compliant with said medications and wounds eventually healed and were resolved.
Two weeks PTC, patient noticed some open wound containing pus on the legs and at the feet, described as greenish-yellowish, non-foul smelling, mucoid, still
accompanied with itchiness. Still with no associated symptoms as mentioned above. He self medicated with unrecalled medication which afforded partial relief. No consult
was done.
Few hours prior to consult, due to the increasing severity of symptoms, patient decided to seek consult at our ER.
