Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
You spent two days with your friend , so may be , you got infection .
For prevention boil all linen and clothes which your friend used during with you.
In my opinion you need to investigated with blood culture and drug sensitivity test to isolate the case.
I would recommend you visit a dermatologist and get his opinion regarding this.
Good luck. Dr. HET
