Ok, lets see...An abscess is a collection of pus localized in a specific area because of an infiltration of some pathogen. Pt had knee replacement surgery (same leg) 2 months ago and that is healing...
I'm stuck ... I have to do a concept map (risk factors, signs/symptoms, medical tx, etc.) for the disease process of my patient...he has an achilles tendon abscess. To me, that's not a "disease"....
