Jessica B, a home infusion RN with Geisinger Health System, noticed her patient developed a rash which she believed to be due to a new drug infusion. She used VisualDx to find out what was happening and tells us about her case.
“My patient presented with a body rash 3 days after infusing Vancomycin IV. After consulting VisualDx for Red man syndrome and other dermatological conditions, it was determined that client did not have Red man syndrome but presented with actual Lyme’s disease and the bull’s eye was in arm pit. The IV antibiotic was changed to Ceftriaxone.”
