Some more work up will help
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
I can understand your dilemma.
They did the biopsy on friday, will you lt me know the report of this and the other work up.
She is having a swelling on liver, will you send me other reports of her blood work up and imaging.
I will like to know how long she is sick and what were the features.
Did she recently visit any tropical country.
She should get her complete blood counts, CRP, ESR, Peripheral blood smear, blood and urine culture, urine biochemistry and microscopy.
An ultrasound of whole abdomen or a CT scan of abdomen is worthwhile.
Also get serlogy for hepatitis-E, leptospira, rickettsia, and malaria.
Fever should be controlled with paractamol and tepid sponging to keep the patient at comfort. Ample nutrition, mobilization out of bed daily and hydration must be ensured.
I will be in a better position to give my opinion once I get the reports.
If you have any questions I will be happy to answer.
Please close the query if you have no other questions.
Wish you a good health.
