Allen is a 70-year-old with a medical history of hypertension and GERD who is presenting to urgent care due to fever and rash. He reports a mild sore throat, red eyes, runny nose, muscle aches, and cough about four days ago. He has been feeling feverish, and self-treating with Tylenol and ibuprofen. He also noted some white spots in his mouth a couple of days ago. His symptoms have persisted and now is noting a red rash on his face and trunk. His occupation is driving a school bus, and due to the shortage of drivers has not felt pressured to continue working. However, in the past few months he has noted concerning fatigue. His primary care provider had done some evaluation and had made a referral to an oncology specialist, but Allen reports not having been able to get that appointment yet. He does not have any known medication or food allergies. He has been prescribed lisinopril for blood pressure treatment but states he has not taken in for a few days due to feeling so ill. He has been immunized for COVID-19, influenza, pneumococcal, tetanus, and shingles as an adult. He does not have a record or remember his childhood vaccinations.
