Laboratory Analysis

Admission lab results were within normal limits, as indicated Table 1 .

X-ray of the right hand revealed a partially missing right fifth fingernail, and a missing fourth distal phalanx. See Figure 1.

An x-ray and MRI of the left foot were suggestive of chronic osteomyelitis of great toe with a pathologic fracture.
