Occult blood in stools may be due to go infections like e coli , or hookworm or pinworm infestation, etc Cow milk intake also can be the offending agent. Most of the E Coli diarrhoea s subsides on their own. Symptomatic treatment needed . A repeat test after a week

This 44 year old male (see connected case) was started on Levofloxacin, Doxycycline and Tamiflu (Oseltamivir). However, his fever persisted and dyspnea worsened. His blood pressure dropped to 84/50 mmHg after intubation, and vasopressors were given via CVC (central venous catheter). A 12-lead ECG revealed sinus tachycardia and the CXR obtained 2 days later (attached) revealed diffuse infiltrations over both lungs. HBsAg and anti-HCV were negative. The abdominal echo showed no lesions of the liver, gallbladder or biliary tract. Coronary angiography (performed due to elevated cardiac enzymes) did not show coronary artery thrombosis. Lumbar puncture showed no evidence of central nervous system infection. PCWP was 16 mmHg. A dx. was made of pneumonia, septic shock, ARDS and myocarditis. Two days later, lab results came back negative for dengue fever, Q fever, scrub typhus, Rickettsia, but was positive for influenza B. What is the next step in the management of this pt.?
