Hi, my 24 yr old son has had a re-occuring problem. About a month ago, he was admitted into local ER for high fever, & dizziness. He ended up having a growth ( ? ), of some sort in his groin area that, was removed. He was told he had a severe infection in his blood ( white cells destroying red cells ), which caused the growth/pollup ? My son only took part of the antibiotic prescribed for him which, resulted in 2 more growths on his back just this month ( 1 week ago ). After having those removed, he has been taking his meds religiously. He has just informed me this evening that 2 more growths have developed ! I have not been @ hospital to be able to ask questions of the doctor/s. I need to know what this could possibly be from. All they have told him is, he has bad blood & nothing can be done except to medicate & try to slow the growths. ?????
Hi and kind regards, It would be of interest actually characterizing the growths described. Knowing if these are elated to the infection or not is very important. The two processes, growth and infections could be either related or not related. Your doctor will for sure be able to make this clear distinction. Concerning the recurrent infection, four main possibilities in my humble opinion should be reviewed. The choice of the Chat Doctor.
