A 18 year-old-girl presents with the complaints of fever for 2
months and had an initial high grade fever for 15 days associated with
chills and rigor for which antimalarial treatment and monocef was given
for 8 days. After 10 days she also complained of low backache which was
more in the left buttock (pain localized by us to sacra-iliac
joints).
Recently she started complaining of fever associated with chills and vomiting, headache and vertigo. She remains alright as long as she takes medicines.
This girl has malaria smear and antigen negative fever which
is recurrent (see attached charts) and the fever is responding to
chloroquin. She also has skin lesions on forehead and forearms
reportedly due to her own scratching (?pathergy).
