Hi.. If you want to know the diagnosis of the doctors who are treating her, then you may have to contact the hospital.. The doctors might be wanting to rule the possibilities of tumour or immunocomprimised status first with the clinical symptoms that you have mentioned... Contact your family member or the hospital to know more about the condition and diagnosis.. We pray for her speedy recovery...
