After a short break welcome to our new case! This week we start in general practice.
A 20 year old lady attends who found out she was pregnant 4 weeks ago. Her dating scan at the time showed that she was around 28 weeks pregnant. Bloods at booking showed
Hb 105
Mcv 79
Plt 105
Neut 2.5
Wcc 7.4
She forgot her appointment for repeat bloods and has come to see you because she has developed a rash on her arms.
It’s slightly itchy and she is wanting something to help it go away. (Rash pictured below)
What do you think the rash is?
Are there any treatments you would start?
What would you like to ask in the history?
Are there any investigations you would like to do?
