The patient is a 45-year-old Native-American woman with severe insulin
dependent diabetes and a long history of peripheral vascular disease.
She is status post right above the knee amputation and a left femoral
popliteal bypass graft 3 months prior to this admission. She had problems
with a draining wound from her left thigh which was initially thought
to be due to a stitch abscess and she underwent excision and drainage.
Her wound had essentially healed when she developed
recurrent cellulitis and swelling of her leg. She presents now, appearing
ill, in the Emergency room on 7-31-02.
