Rita, a medical student at Stony Brook University, writes about a time she saw a patient suffering from a few illnesses who presented with a rash. Using VisualDx, she was able to narrow down the differential diagnosis for the patient and accurately diagnose her.
“66 year old female with PMH of CHF, HTN, CAD, HLD, and chronic lymphadema presents with bilateral lower extremity erythema with warmth for one week. Cellulitis vs stasis dermatitis was considered, but due to bilateral nature and pearls on VisualDx helped confirm stasis dermatitis.”
*Picture of patient with stasis dermatitis is not patient in this case. See more stasis dermatitis images in VisualDx.
