Abstract
CAMPO GIMENEZ, María del; HERMIDA LAZCANO, Ignacio; MORA ESCUDERO, Isaac and PARRAGA MARTINEZ, Ignacio. Patient diagnosed with chronic bowel disease with fever and low back pain. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2018, vol.11, n.2, pp.107-111. ISSN 2386-8201.
Fever and low back pain are two of de most frequent reasons for Family Medicine consultation. It is important to carry out a detailed medical history, physical examination and periodic reevaluation of patients, these being main tools for the family physician to be able to establish a differential diagnosis and to detect the presence of alarm signals. We report the case of a patient with fever and low back pain, describing the diagnosis process, its treatment and the coordinated management between Family Medicine and Internal Medicine.
