In the disease mononucleosis (“mono”), the spleen enlarges because of increased numbers of phagocytes and other cells. Common signs and symptoms of this disease include pale complexion, a tired feeling, and a lack of energy sometimes to the point of not being able to get out of bed. What might cause these signs and symptoms?

A 65-year-old woman comes to the physician because of a 1-day history of a burning, tingling rash on her right breast. Physical examination shows several grouped vesicles on an erythematous base over the lateral aspect of the right breast; some of the vesicles have crusted over.

She says that the rash irritability responded to use of an over-the-counter topical preparation containing clotrimazole, but the treatment has recently has become ineffective in relieving her symptoms. Physical examination shows a 10-cm of erythema with a mucous discharge under each breast. Her finger stick blood glucose concentration is 115 mg/dL. Microscopic examination of the discharge shows branching hyphae. The physician suspects that the causal organism in this patient is resistant to clotrimazole.
