Hi Dr.Rynne..... Back In April I Had A PBM Due

Hi Dr.Rynne..... Back in April I had a PBM due to a BRCA2 mutatation.... Mastectomy went fine, but during the reconstruction phase, I got a Psuedomonal infection on the right side ( pocket and expander and drain were all replaced) I was on a PICC LINE with Zosyn infusion for six weeks, but relapsed. Ultimately, right side expander and drain were removed, but PICC put back in for three more weeks of Zosyn...... PICC was discontinued last Monday 9/21..... At that time all labs were normal. As of that night, up to right now, I've felt malaise, low grade body aches and chills, but NO fever...... 97.7 lowest temp- 99.5 ..... Do you think this is a relapse again even though foreign bodies are out, or a possible secondary viral infection from being on extended PICC line.......
Thank you for taking the time to read my question.....
