VictoriaO Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Thanks for the discussion, I've seen some providers in the ED tack it on, again just another non-specific piece of the puzzle you may be stuck trying to explain! My Peds preceptor is a huge ID buff, and he likes to use a sed rate for things like septic joints, pharyngeal abcesses, etc. The diagnostic w/u for epidural abcess (according to Dynamed) includes Sed rate, but I'm wondering how much good it will do, when you get the most bang for your diagnostic buck on imaging. Again, great case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docpowers Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Well, if you can't find anything medical, wouldn't it be a good ideal to refer to a chiropractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archerry Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Well, if you can't find anything medical, wouldn't it be a good ideal to refer to a chiropractor. Retropharyngeal abscess with possible seeding of the lungs is pretty "medical". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
