Well... well... well.... There had been breakthrough in the condition of the girl with PUO. First, the fever seems subsiding..... that's the most great news for me.... so my stress could be relieved a little bit. Secondly, for making the correct diagnosis, we have more information from our laboratory tests. The bone marrow examination showed no evidence of malignancy and the autoimmune markers of ANCA and anti-smooth muscle antibody were both positive. After some discussion, we have also seek the expert advise from the University paediatric immunologist and the girl is lucky enough to have their expert consultation. She will be transferred to them on this Sunday morning.
I wish this girl could have the correct diagnosis be made so as earlier definitive treatment could be given. Moreover, I could learn more and enrich my limited knowledge. Remember the days when I was in the medical school, the professor told us that we learnt from our patient. And it is surely what is meant...!
