Medical transcriptionists. "kaylor" again?

This doc has no accent, but I can't figure this one out.





"There is erythema, induration, and [sounds like "kay-lor"] to the right forefoot. There is no odor. There is sanguinopurulent..."





Please let me know if you have any ideas.

Medical transcriptionists. "kaylor" again?
Could be "Pallor".
Reply:Keloid?
Reply:I'd guess choler, if I had to guess.
Reply:i honestly have no clue and apparently have never had that problem before.
Reply:calor, is bodily heat that is a sign of inflammation.


palor is a paleness.


Because he says there is erythema (redness) I'd go with Calor
Reply:Yes, the answer would be calor. Discussed several times in the below link with regard to the foot/feet.





I answered your other one about this but said eschar because I had not heard calor used in a foot exam before but have seen heard it and thought of your last question. :)
