| rowspan="9" |'''Infections'''

| rowspan="2" |'''Syphilis'''
| rowspan="2" |
* Syphilis is caused by a [[spirochete]], [[Treponema pallidum|''Treponema pallidum'']].


* It has an average incubation period of 3 - 12 weeks.
==References==
* Spirochete penetrates intact mucous membrane or microscopic dermal abrasions and rapidly enters systemic circulation with the [[central nervous system]] being invaded during the early phase of infection.
{{Reflist|2}}
* The histopathological hallmark findings are endarteritis and plasma cell-rich infiltrates reflecting a delayed-type of hypersensitivity reaction to the spirochete.
| rowspan="2" |
'''Primary syphilis'''
* Mononuclear leukocytic infiltration, [[macrophages]], and [[lymphocytes]]
* Swelling and proliferation of small blood vessels
'''Secondary syphilis'''
* Swelling and dilatation of blood vessels in the [[dermis]]
* Epidermal [[hyperplasia]] and neutrophilic infiltration
* Inflammatory cell infiltrate, predominantly [[plasma cell]]
'''Tertiary syphilis'''
* Small vessel inflammation ([[endarteritis obliterans]])
* Granulomatous lesions ([[gumma]]) containing central necrosis, inflammatory cells, such as [[lymphocytes]], [[macrophages]], [[plasma cells]] and [[Fibroblast|fibroblasts]].
| rowspan="2" |
*


* A presumptive diagnosis of syphilis is possible with the use of two types of serologic tests.
{{WH}}
:* Nontreponemal tests (e.g., [[VDRL|venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL)]] and [[RPR|rapid plasma reagent test]]) and
{{WS}}
:* Treponemal tests (e.g., [[FTA-ABS|fluorescent treponemal antibody absorbed (FTA-ABS) tests]], the ''T. pallidum'' passive particle agglutination (TP-PA) assay, various [[Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)|enzyme immunoassays]], and [[Chemiluminescence|chemiluminescence immunoassays]]).

| rowspan="2" |Darkfield examinations and tests to detect ''[[T. pallidum]].''
|-
|
|-
|'''Brucellosis'''
|[[humans]] could be infected by eating undercook meat or raw [[Dairy product|dairy]] products, inhalation of the [[bacteria]] and direct contact of bacteria with [[skin]] [[wounds]] or [[Mucous membranes|mucous membranes.]] Following transmission, [[white blood cells]] phagocyte the pathogen and transports it via hematologic or [[Lymphatic system|lymphatic route]] to different organs specially to those of the [[reticuloendothelial system]].
|
* Fever
* Rash
* Abdominal pain
* weightloss
* Painful lymphadenopathy
* hepatosplenomegaly
* arthritis
|
* [[Lymphocytosis|Relative lymphocytosis]]
* positive titer of anti-[[Brucella|b''rucella'']] [[antibodies]] on serological testing
* There are two types of serological tests, based on:
** Antibody production against [[lipopolysaccharide]]
** Antibody production against other [[bacterial]] [[antigens]]
|
|
* [[Brucella|''Brucella'']] is most commonly isolated from blood cultures (blood cultures are positive between the 7th and 21st day)
|-
| rowspan="4" |'''Viral'''
|'''infectious mononucleosis'''
|
* Epstein-Barr virus, frequently referred to as [[EBV]],
* the [[EBV|virus]] infects [[B cells]] located in the oropharyngeal epithelium and subsequently spreads to involve the [[lymph nodes]], [[liver]] and [[spleen]].
* incubation period ranges from 4 to 6 weeks.
*
|Characteristic triad of [[fever]], [[pharyngitis]], and [[lymphadenopathy]] lasting for 1 to 4 weeks.
 
Common [[symptoms]] include low-grade [[fever]] without [[chills]], [[sore throat]], white patches on [[tonsils]] and back of the throat, [[muscle weakness]] and sometime extreme [[fatigue]], tender [[lymphadenopathy]], [[petechial hemorrhage]] and [[skin rash]].
|
* presence of [[Lymphocytes|atypical lymphocytes]] (often recorded by automated blood analyser machines as an increase in the monocycte count) is characteristic of [[EBV|EBV infection]].
*
|
==== Peripheral Blood Smear ====
* hallmark of the disease is the presence of [[Reactive lymphocyte|atypical lymphocytes]] (a type of mononuclear cell) .
* [[Lymphocytosis|Atypical lymphocytosis]] is present in approximately 75% of patients
* Greater than 10% atypical lymphocytes is diagnostic of mononucleosis.
|
|-
|'''cytomegalovirus'''
|
|Common [[symptoms]] include [[sore throat]], swollen [[lymph nodes]], [[fever]], [[headache]], [[fatigue]], [[weakness]], [[muscle pain]] and [[loss of appetite]].
* Abdominal examination reveals [[splenomegaly]].
* [[Maculopapular rash]] may be present.
|
* Positive monospot test.
* Elevated [[liver enzymes]].
|

|'''human immunodeficiency virus'''
|Acute HIV infection may be asymptomatic or may cause a [[mononucleosis]]-like syndrome
 
|[[fever]], [[fatigue]], [[sore throat]], [[myalgia]], and [[lymphadenopathy]]

|
|-
|'''cat scratch fever'''
|The causative organism was first thought to be ''Afipia felis'', but this was disproved by immunological studies demonstrating that cat scratch fever patients developed antibodies to two other organisms, ''[[Bartonella henselae]]'' (''B. henselae'') and ''Bartonella clarridgeiae'', which are rod-shaped [[Gram-negative]] bacteria.
|
|
|
|
|-
|'''Mycobacterial'''
|'''tuberculosis'''
|
* Mostly in endemic areas
|Symptoms include [[productive cough]],[[night sweats]], [[fever]] and [[weight loss]]
|
* [[Sputum]] smear positive for [[acid-fast bacilli]]<nowiki/>and nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) is used on sputum or any sterile fluid for rapid diagnosis and is positive for mycobacteria.
|
|
* CXR and CT demonstrates [[Internal|cavities]] in the upper lobe of the lung
|-
|'''Parasitic'''
|'''toxoplasmosis'''
|A [[parasitic disease]] caused by ingestion of cat feces, affect all organs and particularly dangerous in [[pregnant]] woman. Toxoplasma infections may also present with a mononucleosis-like syndrome seen in patients with acute HIV syndrome.
