Patient diagnosis
    #8047481 - 02/20/08 02:09 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Hello all,I am not looking for a definite answer(unless you have one)but I am a first year nursing student and I have a case study due(on paper only,not live) and I can not find out what this is.

A 30 year old male developed flulike symptoms with fatigue,afternoon fever,night sweats,weight loss,abdominal cramping,and significant diarrhea. He had taken in very little water over the few days prior to admission to the hospital,blood tests revealed the following:
Hematocrit(Hct) 56%

Leukocytes 1000/ cu mm

Serum Potassium 3.2 mEq/L

CD4 T-cell counts <200/ul of blood

this individual was treated with antibiotics for infection and rehydrated with fluid containing potassium,the hematocrit reversed itself after the fluid was given and then the individual became anemic.

1.What was the diagnosis of this individual?
2.what caused the hematocrit abnormality?
3.What treatments are available for this disorder?
4.What is the term for this persons potassium level prior to treatment?
5.What effect could this abnormal potassium level potentially have on the heart?

ANY help would be good,thanks guys,still lookin while I am surfing here.

I think this is relevent,it turned out to be HIV(AIDS).The low T-cell count was the key.Sorry it took so long I got weighted down with tests and such and forgot about this site.I have been absent more from here lately.
