SCS trial, splenectomy
78 yo M with FBSS and he's s/p splenectomy on acyclovir, fluconazol and PRN levofloxacin. He's got chronic leukopenia. Scheduled for trial next week and WBC 1.0 today. PLT normal.
What does everyone do in this situation? He's miserable.
Thinking move forward with the trial and be meticulous with sterile technique. Hibiclens BID x 3d prior. Keflex PO TID during the trial, which would be shortened to 3 days.
Reasonable?
