I have been given this case to solve in an attempt to understand the topic of " Patient clinical data analysis" to develop my competancy in reading and comprehending clinical data including history, clinical finding, investigations and come up with a diagnosis and treatment plan
CASE:

•Fever since 8 days
•Right LL swelling and redness since 7 days
•SOB grade 2----> 4 since 6 days
