VisualDx Diagnosis Challenge

A 50-YEAR-OLD Indiana farmer visited his doctor with flu-like symptoms including a fever, chills, productive cough, myalgia, and pleuritic chest pain that developed over a few weeks. What worried him was a crusted lesion on his arm that was a large verrucous scaly plaque. Can you diagnose the patient? Use the Differential Builder in VisualDx to help you. HINT: Start with the “Adult Skin – Fever and Rash” clinical scenario, then add other key findings. Look for the answer on our Facebook page on Tuesday, September 1.
