T.H., a 48-year-old man, was an admitted IV drug user and occasionally abused alcohol. Over 4 weeks, he had experienced fever, night sweats, malaise, a cough, and a 10-lb. weight loss. He was also concerned about several discolored lesions that had erupted weeks before on his arms and legs. T.H. made an appointment with a physician assistant at the neighborhood clinic.
