Case Four: History<br />
Hospital Course: Mr. Burton is a 45 year-old<br />
gentleman who was admitted to the hospital five<br />
weeks ago with acute bacterial endocarditis. After<br />
an appropriate antibiotic regimen was started <strong>and</strong><br />
Mr. Burton was stable, he was transferred to a<br />
skilled nursing facility to finish a six-week course of<br />
IV antibiotics. On week #5, the patient developed a<br />
rash on his lower extremities. The dermatology<br />
service was consulted to evaluate the rash.
