What Does Swelling With Fever & Rashes Suggest?

Sandra presents to her physician complaining of fever, headache, and painful swellings in her armpits. During the physical examination, the doctor notices that her hands are covered with scratches. He asks about these, and Sandra says they’re from a kitten that she found wandering along a country road 2 weeks earlier and adopted as a pet. What disorder do you think her physician might suspect?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and from the history given here I would say that this could be viral infection and this would be the most likely possibility the physician might be thinking about, it was necessary to ask the physician as examined the patient clinically, hope this information helps you, have a great day.
I find this answer helpful
