+ Would a herpetic whitlow blister on the finger bust, then fill back up creating a another blister?
It could yes
+ Also, I took my young nephew to the urgent care yesterday because his eye was red, watery, and had yellowish white goopy discharge. Does this sound herpetic?
It does not
+ The jeans I wore when I took him had holes in the knees. He was rubbing and scratching at his eye, he was scratching my bare knee when we were waiting with the same hand he was using on his eye. IF this was herpetic, if there a risk of getting herpes on my knee?
that’ is extremely unlikely
does using the same single pcr swab on multiple lesions on different fingers effect the accuracy of the swab?Or do providers typically only use one swab for multiple lesions? Should multiple swabs have been used?
Providers typically use the same swab over multiple lesions to increase the odds of getting a real positive on the swab.
