ID medmal cases concentrate around necrotizing fasciitis recognition (LRINEC + surgical debridement), septic arthritis (arthrocentesis required), endocarditis workup (modified Duke), and empiric antibiotic appropriateness. IDSA + CDC + modified Duke define the floors.
Try the 2-min Infectious Disease demo → All specialtiesID cases turn on documented LRINEC scoring, arthrocentesis for hot joints, blood culture sets per Duke criteria, and empiric antibiotic match to source + local antibiogram. Each is in the chart or it isn't.
Pain out of proportion, bullae, crepitus; LRINEC not calculated; surgical debridement delayed.
Hot painful joint not aspirated; treated as gout/cellulitis.
Insufficient blood cultures or no TEE per Duke criteria.
Empiric coverage not matching source or local resistance.
Returning traveler with fever; malaria/typhoid/dengue workup not ordered.
High-risk patient; HIV testing not offered per CDC universal screening.
Lock the witness into "I thought it was cellulitis," then juxtapose against the IDSA + LRINEC standard for distinguishing nec fasc.
Why this lands: witness has framed gestalt as a substitute for the LRINEC + surgical-consult standard.
ID cases turn on documented LRINEC, arthrocentesis, blood cultures per Duke, and empiric antibiotic appropriateness. IDSA + Duke are real published floors.
