| Diagnostic Information | |||||
| Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition | |||||
| The patient, who was a healthy 16 year old female, presented to this health care provider with flu like symptoms. | |||||
| Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury | |||||
| This provider timely and appropriately examined the patient, performed a rapid flu test and a rapid strep test (both of which were negative). The working diagnosis was an upper respiratory infection so the provider prescribed an antibiotic (azithromycin) for the patient. The patient was provided proper discharge instructions and was told to return to the office and/or the emergency room of the local hospital if her conditioned worsened. The patient returned for a second visit with a chief complaint of "swollen eyes". The patient was re-examined and prescribed a topical antibiotic (Polytrim) for both of the eyes and a steroid injection to reduce inflammation, as well as an Order for extensive blood tests. | |||||
| Diagnostic Code : | |||||
| Misdiagnosis Made, If Any, Of Patient's Actual Condition | |||||
| The allegation consisted of the failure to timely diagnose and treat Influenza A by not prescribing Tamiful which would have prevented the development of the patient's Myocarditis. The experts disagreed with this allegation since the patient did not fit the criteria for the administration of Tamiflu and agreed that the infection was not clinically diagnosable when seen by this provider. | |||||
| Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim | |||||
| The patient developed kidney failure with eventual kidney transplant and a foot drop. | |||||
| Severity Of Injury | |||||
| Permanent: Significant - Deafness, loss of limb, loss of eye, loss of one kidney or lung. | |||||
