CASE STUDY 1
Chief Complaint
A 19 y.o. female patient presents to your student health clinic complaining of a rash and says that she thinks she has the “flu or something.” She returned 3 weeks ago from a spring break trip to the beach. The rash started out “like acne,” located on her face, back, and chest. She now thinks she must have caught something during her trip, as she has developed joint pain in addition to the rash. The pain is most notable in her hands, although she has some stiffness and pain in both of her wrists, ankles, and knees.
