Lungs are clear, so no pneumonia, and all other tests show no infection. We are waiting only for the 72-hour tests of blood cultures, but the doctor doesn't anticipate a problem; Dennis' temperature is back to normal today. The doctor suspects the spike in temperature yesterday was most likely caused by "engraftment syndrome", an inflammatory condition occurring during the engraftment process.
In regard to the body rash, the doctor suspects that Dennis has the first allergy in his life - to Acyclovir. That antiviral has been switched-out to another, so we will see. At least the rash doesn't itch.
