 August 24, 2022

This is online E-blog, to discuss our patient de-identified health data shared after taking her guardian's signed informed consent.


Here we discuss our individual patient problems through series of inputs from  available global online community of experts with an aim to solve the patients clinical problem with current best evidence based input.


This E-blog also reflects my patient's centred online learning portfolio.


I have been given this case to solve in an attempt to understand the topic of "Patient Clinical Data Analysis" to develop my competency in reading and comprehending clinical data including history, clinical findings, investigations and come up with a diagnosis and treatment plan.

Our 41yr old male patient came to the opd with chief complaints of  

Generalised body pains  and involuntary movements of upper limbs since 2days

HOPI

Patient was apparently asymptomatic 6years ago then  developed  neck pain and giddiness for which he went to RMP and was diagnosed having hypertension and then 4years back he developed  chest pain which is dragging type of pain not associated with sob, palpitations for which he went to hospital and got an ecg and    angiogram done , used blood thinners  as advised by them and then he developed giddiness for which he went to RMP and diagnosed to be having DM. 

Later 6months he got fever, generalised body pains and involuntary movements of upper limb and came to our hospital and then he was diagnosed as liver infection.

Now he came to our hospital for same complaints generalised body pains and involuntary movements of upper limb since 2days and was admitted in our hospital.
