Symptoms were fever of 103, cough and shortness of breath. At first they suspected pneumonia but the Xrays were clear. Sepsis detected. Then they suspected pertussis (whooping cough) or atypical pneumonia. After numerous blood tests, blood cultures, nasal cultures and urine tests they can't find an organism that would cause it. Also the rash is not associated with any of those respiratory diseases but is more like an autoimmune condition. Lots of different antibiotics have been tried. This is day 5 in hospital.
Sepsis causes increased HR and breathing and rash in some cases. Sounds like an auto immune disorder. That's crazy. I'll keep an update if I hear anything more about this. I'm sorry to hear that.
