New Day, New Case

[Stormcloud23]

If you followed yesterday's case you should know how to play. I'll give you symptoms, you give me a diagnosis

Patient admited at 12:00 noon EST. Presented with Anosmia and Ageusia. Initial scans revealed necrotic lesions in the forebrain...
Lets hear the differential .....

He's quite obviously suffering from Freemanitis, an infection which is known to affect the stubble, hair and facial structure of a fairly tall male.

Could it be Lupus?

You know, you could have just posted the new case in the old thread right? Plus, we didn't really figure that one out. Is it ever lupus?

yea you guys did, it was lyme disease

Check for heavy metals, and if they use drugs. Also, check for arsenic.
Finally, check home, work, and family history.
Let's go, people.

No drugs, heavy metals.... No arsenic, Home is a dirty old loft but we checked everything, nothing that would cause this. Work is clean and no history of serious disease in the family...

 

[WolfMage]

Does he either drink or smoke?
And does he have any marks or rashes?

 

[Stormcloud23]

He drinks, doesn't smoke. no marks or rashes, but he's exhibiting three new symptoms. Massive headache, nausea, and rigidity of his neck muscles...

 

[Birras]

I think it might be primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, I suggest treatment with heroic doses of Amphotericin B, although his chances are slim if I'm correct...

Brain biopsy revealed that the P.A.M diagnosis is correct, however because of the delay from when he was admitted and when we figured it out, we were too late. Time of Death called at 5:17 EST

(Damn, I'm surprised you got that one dude.........)

 

[Birras]

Oh well, only 3% of people survive P.A.M., I still think I deserve a high five and e-cookie...

 

[WolfMage]

EDIT: Damnit...Oh well, an e-cookie to you for the solution, and a fucking hell since he died.
