What is Leukopenia?

You mentioned that she had a sore stomach whilst at college and that she had been diagnosed with an ulcer just before she started coughing up blood. Was the ulcer diagnosed by gastroscopy or just by her symptoms. Was just thinking that if she did have GI involvement she could have had wounds/ulcers in her bowel and before they had time to heal they could have become infected when she was immune compromised because of the immune-suppressants. Was peritonitis the cause of death?

So, so sad and I can feel your anger. Certainly major negligence there.

It is very sad when one dies after getting the best care possible because the disease or complications from it or treatment are just too much for the body to handle, BUT it is another matter altogether when the death should have been prevented for the patient if the patient had just received adequate medical care which should have been readily available in their setting.

I totally agree. I was actually just reading up some more on sepsis and the symptoms. She had the symptoms of sepsis and the first 3 hours is the most important. Not one doctor or nurse took her vitals nor blood work or they would have seen something brewing. The thing is she was such a strong girl and had the doctors in awe a few times. She was even supposed to be a case study

The doctor said the rituxan and steroids will mask other things, but isn't that more reason to investigate when a patient is telling them something is wrong?
