What is Streptococcal Pharyngitis. – Strep Throat Made Astoundingly Simple
INTRODUCTION Acute pharyngitis is one of the most common conditions encountered in outpatient clinical practice. Most cases of acute pharyngitis are caused by respiratory viruses and are self-limited.

Using a systematic approach to diagnosis can help reduce […]

Infectious Mononucleosis (Mono) Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Clinical manifestations and treatment Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a widely disseminated herpesvirus that is spread by close contact between susceptible persons and asymptomatic EBV shedders. EBV is the primary agent of infectious mononucleosis (IM) and is associated with the development of B cell lymphoma, T cell lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. ●Subclinical infection − […]
Epstein Barr Virus and Infectious Mononucleosis (pathophysiology, investigations and treatment)
Contact of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) with oropharyngeal epithelial cells allows replication of the virus, release of EBV into the oropharyngeal secretions, and infection of B cells in the lymphoid-rich areas of the oropharynx. EBV-infected B cells are responsible for the dissemination of infection throughout the lymphoreticular system. The incubation period prior to the development of […]
Self-care- Chicken pox
Epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and diagnosis ●Infections caused by varicella-zoster virus (VZV) Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection causes two distinct diseases. Primary infection with VZV results in varicella (chickenpox), characterized by vesicular lesions in different stages of development on the face, trunk, and extremities.
