Mononucleosis

Name: Jade Dufren Causative Agent: Epstein-Barr virus Disease: Burkitts lymphoma, Mononucleosis, and Orchitis Classification of the causative agent: Human Herpesvirus 4 (HHV-4) – Gammaherpesvirinae enveloped virus. History: The Ebstein-Barr Virus took on the name of its founders, Anthony Epstein, Yvonne Barr, and Burt Achong in 1964. It is a part of the herpes family, but has no relation to the genital or oral types of herpes. Although it was first recognized in children, about 90% of the

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is responsible for numerous infections that can take place throughout the body, most commonly acute infectious mononucleosis. Infectious mononucleosis, simply referred to as “mono,” is an illness that is directly caused by the Epstein-Barr virus and can frequently affect toddlers, teenagers, and adults. EBV, along with infectious mononucleosis, is primarily spread from person to person orally through the following acts: kissing, sharing food and drinks, and coming in contact

Infectious Mononucleosis also known as Mono is known to be caused by the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). It is contagious. It is usually seen during childhood but can extend to young adulthood ages 15 to 25. Ninety percent of the children who have mono have the EBV The signs and symptoms include fever, and general malaise, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes located in the neck and armpits, rash, and sometimes a swollen liver or spleen or both (CDC.com). However, these symptoms are not visible until

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infections: Several species of Cytomegalovirus have been identified and classified for different  mammals.[6] The most studied is Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), which is also known as Human herpesvirus 5 (HHV-5). Other primate CMV species include Chimpanzee cytomegalovirus (CCMV) that infects chimpanzees and orangutans, and Simian cytomegalovirus (SCCMV) and Rhesus cytomegalovirus (RhCMV) that infect macaques; CCMV is known as both Panine herpesvirus 2 (PaHV-2) and Pongine herpesvirus-4(PoHV-4)

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the nerve and nerve fibers of the central nervous system (Ringold, Lynm, & Glass, 2006). It results in the loss and damage of myelin, the insulator of nerve fibers, thus affecting the conduction of nerve signals within the brain and spinal cord. This damage to the central nervous system (CNS) leads to an impairment in sensory, cognitive, and motor functions of the body. The cause of multiple sclerosis is still unknown, however

The second disease was the Epstein–Barr virus, which is also known as mononucleosis, that infected two students on campus. For diagnosis, DNA sequencing through BLAST was also used to detect the pathogen’s existence in one of the patients. However, since the laboratory was unable to obtain a sample from the second patient, the

At the end of the Fall 2016 semester, I received a SAP warning and was placed on academic probation. I have no one to blame for the events of the fall semester but myself and wholeheartedly apologize to Salem, my professors, and anyone else I affected in that period of time. However, some of the events of that semester play into what occurred in the spring, and the least convoluted way through everything is to start in the fall. I started my first year believing I was in the best place mental

showed a red warm wound on the knee that was larger than the initial wound. Information given indicated that he had swollen and tender inguinal lymph nodes. Based on all of this information given we concluded that the patient could possibly have: mononucleosis, pneumonia,cellulitis, an insect bite, bursitis, UTI, tinea, lyme disease and some type of infectious abscess. We ruled out most of these suspected diagnosis by taking all of the

patient’s serum agglutinates horse red blood cells. His peripheral blood smear is likely to show which of the following? A. B. C. D. E. Answer Choice "A" is the best answer. The patient in this vignette is suffering from infectious mononucleosis. The primary symptoms are those of a systemic viral illness, and include malaise, severe sore throat and a low-grade fever. The Monospot test, a heterophile antibody test, in the setting of appropriate clinical symptoms, is diagnostic for infectious

I have absolutely no recollection of these events, and believe I was sleepwalking at the time of this incident due to a variety of circumstances: I was currently suffering from mononucleosis, I had some alcohol in my system at the time (stopped drinking 4 hours prior and was below the legal limit), this occurred two and a half hours after I went to sleep (1:30 AM~), my family has a history of sleep issues such as sleep apnea and sleep
