I have a very close friend who has lymes x 6 years. Just got a port and is doing abx infusions twice a day 3 days on 4 days off for the past 2 months. He took a 2 week break and today started treatment again. 2 hours after infusion he is running 101.9 chills/sweats. Vitals normal 119/79 hr 86. I am concerned because his temp keeps rising so quickly. Please advise. Er?
Howell come to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern, differential diagnosis is matter of concern as long as the febrile condition is concern, may need some test like complete blood count and x-ray or chest hope this information helps.
