WHAT WOULD DR SOTOS SAY ABOUT THIS BLUE TONGUE?

blue tongueDr. John Sotos was a former classmate at Hopkins, and is known as Dr. Zebra for his knowledge of arcane medical conditions and diagnosis.  Sound familiar…like someone on TV ?  That’s because he is the ‘real life’ Dr. House, and was the medical adviser for the TV show.

What is the diagnosis of this patient with a blue tongue?  If she were an animal….she might have Bluetongue disease.   But, there are no medical conditions that cause blue tongues in humans….so I suspect this came from eating blue dye contained in the icing of a birthday cake.  Is my diagnosis correct?  Of course it is….I made up the question & the answer!
