Very frequent MRCP exam question, especially Part 1 & 2a, don't be surprised if it comes out in Station 5 PACES.
The picture shows erythematous nodules over the legs involving the shin. They are tender and elevated.
My diagnosis is that this patient has erythema nodosum.
You need to know the causes !
May even appear in history taking if you read Mir &Ryder PACES
Idiopathic/ unknown
Sarcoidosis
Streptococcal infection
Tuberculosis
Infections other than TB or strep - HIV...
Pregnancy or oral contraceptives
Drugs other than OCAs
Inflammatory bowel disease
Behcet's disease

TOSHIBA PLT-805AT
I was married at 32 and immediately tried to get pregnant. When I was unable to conceive I had blood tests for fertility and was told that I had an FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) of 54 and would not be able to have children. Even though the doctors knew that I had been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis since age 25, no one bothered to check my thyroid levels. my TSH was measured at .001. My Synthroid dosage was lowered. a friend advise me to contact a spiritualist who help with fertility with his medicine, i collected his contact and explain my situation to him he prepared for me a herbal medicine which i took as describe by him. became pregnant very quickly, I had a successful pregnancy. I have my baby august 2017. to get pregnant at age 35 with my 2nd child in september 2019, thank you sir , this is his email contact if you require his help babaka.wolf@gmail.com or Facebook at priest.babaka
