[|Human|] my wife at beef at McDonalds and woke up with a horrible rash, jpont stiffness and some joint weakness in her left hand. Her PCP{ said it is a food allergic reaction.  My concern is e-coli.  But she does not have abdominal pain or diahrea.  He put her on a dose medrol pack.   Should she be tested for e-coli?
[|AI|]  Hi I did review your concern. Ecoli infection would ideally not cause any joint problems unless it is disseminated. I would consider something else like autoimmune condition like lupus or other infection like streptococcus.I would recommend you to consult a doctor and get the rash evaluated and get routine blood and urine test done to see if there is anything wrong in the tests. Rash will help us direct the cause and appropriate treatment hope this helps thank you for choosing Chat Doctor .wish you all the best
