Infection is sometimes a result of a surgical procedure, medical procedure or stay in the hospital. It is the responsibility of you doctor, or health care provider, to pick up on warning signs of injury, illness or infection. If they fail to do so you may be entitled to medical benefits and compensation according to Delaware Medical Malpractice Law. Contacting a Delaware Medical Negligence Attorney is a wise move on your part.
Commonly Misdiagnosed Infections
- Sepsis
- Meningitis
- Fungal infections
- Bacterial infections
- Infections due to surgical procedures
- Viral infections
- Urinary tract infections
- Nosocomial infections (infections acquired while in hospital)
Reasons for Infection Misdiagnosis
Lab tests and blood work can help to identify most infections. Even armed with the proper lab tests and their results your doctor can misread or misinterpret them.
Sometimes doctors may totally overlook signs indicating infection. They may also totally neglect to order the tests to begin with. All of these may entitle you, and your loved ones, to compensation for your injuries, missed work time, pain, suffering and possibly death.
