Pediatrician, Pulmonology ,  's  Response
Dear Wendy, The presentation of sudden rash, high fevers not responding to Tylenol and a high white cell count may be indicative of a bacterial illness. His doctors will send cultures and rapid testing looking for the causes which include viruses, bacteria and possibly parasites. Drug reactions, Kawasaki's Disease, Autoimmune disease and Cancer may also present with these findings. His recent travel history, exposure to illness, animals and his immune status are all things to consider. For more information PRMG pediatrics can review his medical records at 858 259 9689.
