espanolLa exploracion fisica es una de las herramientas de trabajo mas utiles que tenemos en atencion primaria y que no debemos olvidar. Presentamos el caso de un varon de 21 anos, natural de Ecuador, que consulta por inflamacion del tobillo izquierdo sin contusiones. Efectivamente la inflamacion se evidencia con la exploracion, pero se muestra la bilateralidad del cuadro, momento en el que se plantean varias opciones diagnosticas y no lo que de entrada se podria etiquetar como celulitis. EnglishThe physical examination is one of the most useful tools we have in primary care and must not be overlooked. We present the case of a 21-year old male, native of Ecuador, who presented due to left ankle swelling without bruising. The swelling was clearly seen with the examination, however, due to the bilaterality of the picture observed, several diagnostic options were considered and not that which originally could be labeled as cellulitis. |
