    **Re-examination of Melisa Farrow (Admitted 2025-05-20 @ 09:10)**

    **Chief Findings:**
    - **Vital Signs**:
      - Temperature: **38.8°C** (febrile)
      - Pulse: **102 bpm** (tachycardic)
      - Respiratory Rate: **22/min** (tachypneic)
      - Oxygen Saturation: **93%** (on room air, requiring supplemental O₂)
      - Blood Pressure: **114/68 mmHg**
    - **Physical Exam**:
      - Appearance: Pale, visibly unwell, clutching left side during coughing.
      - **Lungs**: Crackles in the **left lower lobe (LLL)**, diminished breath sounds, **dullness to percussion**.
      - **Chest Pain**: Pleuritic (worsened with coughing/deep inspiration).
    - **Diagnostic Results**:
      - **CRP**: **98 mg/L** (elevated, indicating inflammation/infection).
      - **CBC**: **WBC 13.7 x10⁹/L** (leukocytosis), **neutrophils 9.6 x10⁹/L** (neutrophilia).
      - **Chest X-ray**: **Left lower lobe infiltrate + mild pleural effusion** (consistent with **pneumonia**).
      - **ECG**: Sinus tachycardia, no ischemic changes.

    **Diagnosis:**
    - **Primary**: **Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), left lower lobe**.
    - **Secondary**: **Pleuritic chest pain** (infection-related).

    **Immediate Management:**
    - **Admission to Danderyds Sjukhus** (Internal Medicine Ward).
    - **Antibiotics**:
      - **IV Cefotaxime 1g every 8 hours** (broad-spectrum coverage).
      - **Oral Doxycycline 100mg BID** (atypical pathogen coverage).
    - **Supportive Care**:
      - **Oxygen therapy** (nasal cannula 2 L/min, discontinued after 12h).
      - **IV fluids** (mild dehydration).
      - **Paracetamol 1g q6h** for fever/pain.
    - **Monitoring**: Continuous pulse oximetry, vitals q4h, repeat labs.

    **Rationale for Admission**:
    - **Oxygen desaturation (93%)** + **systemic symptoms** (fever, tachycardia, leukocytosis) indicated **moderate-severe CAP** unsuitable for outpatient management.
    - Risk of **clinical deterioration** (e.g., sepsis, respiratory failure) without close monitoring.

    **Follow-Up**:
    - Discharged on **2025-05-23** after **48h afebrile**, improved lung sounds, and CRP decline to **31 mg/L**.
    - Completed **5-day oral Amoxicillin-Clavulanate** course.
    - **Final check-up (2025-05-30)**: Fully recovered; no residual symptoms.
