Final Professional Clinical Examination


My long case exam (Mr Shukrimi, Dr Husin Imam, Prof Zalina, Dr Ramli, Prof How):

A case of 13-year-old Malay boy from Pekan, in his day 42 admission; presented with painful and erythematous swelling at the distal third of right leg for 4 days prior to admission which later progressively spread to the proximal third of the same knee and the patient was unable to mobilize. It was associated with high grade fever without UTI or URTI symptoms. There were constitutional symptoms and the patient were brought to hospital due to shortness of breath.

Debridements were done twice on him due to unsettling infection. He was treated with IV cloxacillin 1g QID.

He has no history of trauma, insect bite, diabetes mellitus type 1 or other chronic diseases.

On examination, there was wasting of the right quadriceps muscle and the right leg looked swollen. There were multiple clean incisional wounds over the medial part of the right leg. There was no bony tenderness or bone discontinuity noted. The power was 5/5 with intact sensation. The peripheral pulses were present.
