who had hip replacement surgery 28 days ago presents with swelling,
pain, inflammation, and erythema at the surgical site. Examination

Q) Patient’s history, predisposing factors, signs, and
symptoms After reading the case study, explain how relevant parts
of the patient’s history, predisposing factors, signs, and symptoms
contributed to your initial diagnosis of the patient’s infectious
disease. To support your diagnosis, search at least one medically
oriented reference article from a reliable site which will allow
you to make a connection between the known signs, symptoms, and
predisposing factors of the specific infectious disease and those
shared by the patient.
