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.
