(MedPage Today) -- A previously healthy 24-year-old student developed sharp abdominal pain after a camping trip. • She presented to the ER, where imaging revealed appendicitis. • She received morphine and now complains of an extremely pruritic rash over her trunk and extremities that is spreading, although individual lesions have “been moving” since her eruption started 6 hours ago. • She developed a similar eruption a year ago when she had a CT scan for an experimental study that resolved within a few days with the use of hydroxyzine. via MedPageToday.com - medical news plus CME for physicians Read More Here..
