Full Body Rash & + ANA
I was hospitalized last month for a severe skin rash, swollen eyes, scalp lesions, swollen & sore joints, with no signs of watery eyes/itchy throat/runny nose. Doctors originally thought it was an allergic reaction, but symptoms would not respond to IV Benadryl or Steroids. I was held at the hospital for a week, underwent countless blood draws. WBC was VERY elevated, 16.0-20.0 at it’s worse, IgE was VERY elevated, & my ANA titers produced a positive. Opinions? Rash blanched & was wide spread.
