Jaundice & high fever in diabetes

Dear Patient: Thank you for writing to us

Yes, he should be admitted. This is because the admission will allow better monitoring of his condition.

Jaundice and high fever makes me think he has vital hepatitis. Treatment of hep B can be with some drugs. But hep C is managed differently.

Also, there is a chance of organ failure and it's better if he stays in a hospital.

Hope this helps.
