@BradSpellberg Hopefully ESR was ordered as well.

I recently evaluated a pt with a fever of 40.5 C, WBC 15,000, & hypotensive/tachycardic. I was really torn. Could the pt have inflammation of some kind? I wasn't sure. But then, thankfully, I saw that someone had ordered a CRP. And that's when I knew there was inflammation.

@BradSpellberg @DrToddLee Can confirm, sarcoidosis at LA General is only TB not diagnosed yet.

@DrToddLee At LA General, the top 4 things that mimic UC are (in order of likelihood): 1) TB 2) TB 3) TB and 4) TB. Also, there is some TB. And occasionally, TB. With an every now and then occurrence of TB. (and don't think I didn't see the zombie CRP graph in the publication!)
