Overview
The physical manifestations of the disease depends on the organ of involvement. In the order of incidence the most commonly involved organs are lungs, skin, bones, genitourinary system, central nervous system and other organs.[1][2][3][4]
Physical Examination
Vital Signs
HEENT
Photophobia, episcleritis, conjunctivitis, scleritis
Lymph nodes
- In cases with skin involvement from direct inoculation, regional lymph node enlargement may be seen.
Neck
- No masses
Cardiovascular system
- Regular rate and rhythm
- Normal S1, S2
- No murmurs, rubs, or gallops
Lungs
Findings consistent with parenchymal consolidation such as[5]
- Dullness to percussion
- Increased fremitus
- Bronchial breathing.
- Rales & Ronchi
Abdominal
- Abdomen soft and non-distended with no scars or striations
- No pulsatile masses or abdominal bruits auscultated
- Spleen not palpable, liver not palpable
Skin
- Erythema nodosum ( It presents as tender red nodules on the shins that are smooth and shiny)
- Erythema multiforme( classical "target lesion" appearance, with a pink-red ring around a pale center)
- Verrucous lesions with irregular border and variegated appearance
Bone and joints
- Soft tissue swelling around the area of involvement and discharging sinuses might be consistent with osteomyelitis.
- Arthritis can cause reproducible pain in joints.
Genitourinary system
Extremities
- Ulcers that bleed on touch
Neurological
Normal examination findings are seen unless the infection is disseminated to the brain resulting in meningitis, findings of neural involvement include:
- Altered level of consciousness
- Nuchal rigidity
- Increased intracranial pressure is a most common finding when meninges are involved.
