Went to A&E as the mark had clearly become infected. Appeared as a small hole, painful when touched (indicating infection).
Looked at by a doctor. Noted as being roughly a square inch in area. Packed with Aquacel and told to return every two to three days for redressing at the Walk-In Centre.
Prescribed Flucloxacillin.
I aim, in this blog, to dispel some myths about leishmaniasis. I also hope it of use to anyone who has recently been diagnosed with the disease and would like some idea of what to expect. I have not written at length about the disease itself as this information is available from much more respectable sources.
Included are mainly letters, pictures, thoughts and some notes from hospital/surgery visits.
