And in the last two days, his right knee started hurting.
Again, like very prominent, painful, barely walking with a limp kind of thing.
Looked a little swollen and was warm apparently.

The initial blood cultures, by the way, are negative.
You know, ID had sort of like thought about doing an arthrocentesis, but by the time he sees them, the knee is all better.
They check him for EBV, CMV, HIV, all negative.
His ANA and rheumatoid factor are negative.
He gets a chest x-ray, which is clear, and an abdominal CT that shows prominent inguinal retroperitoneal lymph nodes bilaterally and an 18-centimeter spleen.
ID orders a TTE that's negative.
