Alma M., an NP with the Veterans’ Health Administration, shares her story about using VisualDx.
“I was assisting with the urgent walk in clinic. I had a case last year of a young 27 year old Caucasian male presenting with an asymptomatic rash on the palm of one hand & forearm. A review of his chart was remarkable for a recently diagnosed ischemic stroke approximately two weeks earlier. He was started on Plavix & atorvastatin at the time of diagnosis. With the help of VisualDx, I was able to identify the target lesions associated with a drug-related erythema multiforme hypersensitivity rxn. With this diagnosis we were able to properly treat the patient for resolution and still reduce his risk of a subsequent stroke.”
*Erythema multiforme pictured on patient’s palm is not patient in this story.
