Clinical Case #4: Mycosis Fungoides with severe skin infection 

Joan Guitart, MD, Professor of Dermatology and Pathology at Northwestern University, explores the hypothetical patient case of a 50-year-old woman, initially diagnosed 5 years ago with stage IB Mycosis Fungoides. With treatment, a partial response was achieved, which subsequently waned. She was recently hospitalized for a skin infection, and is now experiencing worsening skin symptoms. See what Dr. Guitart’s next steps would be for this patient-and why they include flow cytometry to assess for blood involvement.
