My 3 year old has reoccurring fevers with no other symptoms?
I'v had a throat problem for the past 3 months. My symptoms include swollen Tonsils that end up blocking my throat and make it hard to breathe, a sore throat that when I swallow anything it feels like I'm swallowing glass, a stiff and sore neck that hurts to move or touch, a swollen lymph-node on the right side of my neck, a slightly raised fever, and some hearing loss in my right ear. I'v been to the E. R. 4 times now and have doctors appointments weekly. I have blood drawn but the only thing that shows up abnormal is I have a high white blood cell count. The doctors first thought strep throat-that was negative, then Mono-that was negative, then a viral or bacterial infections-those seem negative, then they thought possibly Lymphoma that was also negative. I'v had a check X-Ray and a soft tissue exam. I'v been hooked up to I. V.'s and been on Prednisone, Vicodin, Clidomicin, Zithromax, and viscous lidocaine. I'm seeing my primary care physician, an infectious disease doctor, and an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor. The way it seems I'll probably have to have my tonsils and adenoids removed but that just seems like a quick fix instead of finding out the real issue. I am really starting to get scarred I'm only 20 years old. I am sick of being sick, being poked with needles, and being on medicine can someone please HELP me!!!!


Persistent throat problem. HELP?
My wife recently had a back spinal fusion surgery. Ever since the surgery she has had a viral infection, according to her personal doctor. She has fever, vomiting, dizziness, and this has been going on for 2 months and no end in sight. Her doctor says it just needs to be waited out. I think that is BS. There must be a doctor who specializes in infectious diseases. Can anyone give me some leads? We are in the Seattle area with some great hospitals, I know. My wife is allergic to penicillin and its various forms, BTW.

which of these diseases are applicable to chickens and how do you treat them?
My brother-in-law started having a fever up to 102 to 103 and when he went to the doctor he was told it could be a viral fever and so he waited for more than a week and the fever never came down. He went into ER and that’s when lot of tests was done on him. He was hospitalized for more than 2 nights with all tests A – Z including ultra sound came negative. They had an infectious disease person have a look at him and she had ordered few more tests and they too were negative. Unable to find the cause he was sent home with strong antibiotic and the fever has not gone down at all. The antibiotic course is all going to be over. What is happening? Any suggestions are welcome. His work involves lot of travelling internationally and don’t know if something got him from some country he went. Thank you very much,


Fever 102 from unknown causes for more than 15 days?
I am quite a hypochondriac, which is why I don't know why I engage in activities in which I know I shouldn't. I am 17 years old and I recently had sex with my boyfriend. We used protection all of the times. Both of us are positive that neither of us is a carrier for STDs. Four days ago, during school, I started feeling very fatigued and sore all over my body. When I got home, I fell asleep and I woke up with a fever. Throughout these 4 days, my fever has ranged from 100.4-101.7 F. My mother is an Internist and an Infectious Diseases Physician and works at an Urgent Care Clinic, so she took me there on the third day, realizing that the Motrin and other antibiotics had not been working. They took two urine samples and one tested for a UTI (this is kind of common with me because I always hold in my urine longer than I probably should and this wasn't the first time I had one). After a while, I started feeling better and I left. Then I came back to go see my mother in the late afternoon and my fever had risen once again. This time they took a sample of my blood (the results are unknown yet, seeing as they were just sent for a culture to the lab only yesterday afternoon) and they took chest x-rays. The x-rays were reviewed and everything was normal with the chest x-rays. When I urinated in the sterile cup, the doctor told me to first wipe the lips of my vagina with an alcohol swab, and not until after I did THAT did my vagina start stinging. It does not hurt to urinate, it does not itch, but it stings a little bit in one little spot. (Is this me behaving like a hypochondriac again or is this a real problem, like genital herpes?) I wore a black underwear the night before so that when I woke up I could see clearly if there was any vaginal discharge. Unsurprisingly to me, there was, and it is white and stretchy and does not smell. I'm assuming this is the normal white discharge that every woman encounters because I have seen this before. Also, when my boyfriend and I had sex last week, it was during my period. We used condoms each time and made sure to wash our hands, urinate, and shower frequently. I just got off my period 3-4 days ago. My fever rises and then goes back down. During the day, when I am on antibiotics, I feel great. When the night falls, I start feeling muscle sores and fever again. I have developed cold sores on the sides of my cheeks on the inside of my mouth. (I ALWAYS HAVE THESE BECAUSE I AM OBSESSED WITH BITING THE INSIDES OF MY CHEEKS... it's a nervous habit). So, my mother noticed these sores (they are not pussing, just a litle bit inflamed) and says that we cannot make any definite assumptions until we receive the blood results later today. Her and I both know that it is a viral infection of some sort. It is very hard to swallow and to eat/drink. Still, she claims it could be the Adenovirus or the coxsackievirus. Any ideas? Suggestions? Should I be very worried? Please give me some feedback on what to do, what to test for, etc. All of your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.


Oral/Genital Herpes, Fever, Muscle Sores?
I have a BS in Microbiology and I start my M. S. program in the fall (Microbiology and Immunology). I love working in the bacteriology lab, but I've come to realize that I would rather work with people. I've been considering an M. D. or D. O., and then doing residency in Infectious Diseases. I would complete my M. S. before applying, so I have some time to consider it. What jobs are available for infectious disease doctors? With such effective antibiotics I assume most of the ID patients in the US are viral cases? To be honest, I'm not thrilled about viruses. How long is the residency for ID? Thanks!


Medical jobs in infectious diseases?
Well, I had a headache for 3 weeks, along with a stiff neck, low grade fever, nausea and vomiting, and a general feeling of blahness. For weeks the dr. s wouldn't test me and kept saying it was a migraine. Finally I complained to the hospitals administrator and I got my test. Well, it turns out there were white blood cells in my spinal fluid. The dr. said it's just viral meningitis and it'll go away on its own. Here comes the next problem. I have horrible head pain. On a scale of 1 to 10, it's a 10. It's so horrible, I haven't slept at all in 3 days. Now, the Dr. s obviously know I'm not faking just to score drugs becauseA. My spinal tap is positive for white blood cellsB. I have blood and white blood cells in my urineC. My white blood cells in my blood test have jumped from their normal 8 to 17.8 with 82% neutrophils instead of the normal 70%.Knowing all this, they still refuse to give me pain meds. Should I go back and talk to the administrator tomorrow or maybe try to see an infectious disease specialist or pain management specialist? What would you do if you were me?


Dr.'s won't give me pain meds for my meningitis? What to do?
Just for reference, below are the stages of HIV:STAGE 1 : Primary HIV infectionThis stage of infection lasts for a few weeks and is often accompanied by a short flu-like illness. In up to about 20% of people the HIV symptoms are serious enough to consult a doctor, but the diagnosis of HIV infection is frequently missed. During this stage there is a large amount of HIV in the peripheral blood and the immune system begins to respond to the virus by producing HIV antibodies and cytotoxic lymphocytes. This process is known as seroconversion. If an HIV antibody test is done before seroconversion is complete then it may not be positive. STAGE 2 : Clinically asymptomatic stageThis stage lasts for an average of ten years and, as its name suggests, is free from major symptoms, although there may be swollen glands. The level of HIV in the peripheral blood drops to very low levels but people remain infectious and HIV antibodies are detectable in the blood, so antibody tests will show a positive result. Research has shown that HIV is not dormant during this stage, but is very active in the lymph nodes. A test is available to measure the small amount of HIV that escapes the lymph nodes. This test which measures HIV RNA (HIV genetic material) is referred to as the viral load test, and it has an important role in the treatment of HIV infection. STAGE 3 : Symptomatic HIV infectionOver time the immune system becomes severely damaged by HIV. This is thought to happen for three main reasons: * The lymph nodes and tissues become damaged or 'burnt out' because of the years of activity; * HIV mutates and becomes more pathogenic, in other words stronger and more varied, leading to more T helper cell destruction; * The body fails to keep up with replacing the T helper cells that are lost. As the immune system fails, symptoms develop. Initially many of the symptoms are mild, but as the immune system deteriorates the symptoms worsen. Symptomatic HIV infection is mainly caused by the emergence of opportunistic infections and cancers that the immune system would normally prevent. This stage of HIV infection is often characterised by multi-system disease and infections can occur in almost all body systems. Treatment for the specific infection or cancer is often carried out, but the underlying cause is the action of HIV as it erodes the immune system. Unless HIV itself can be slowed down the symptoms of immune suppression will continue to worsen. STAGE 4 : Progression from HIV to AIDSAs the immune system becomes more and more damaged the illnesses that occur become more and more severe leading eventually to an AIDS diagnosis. At present in the UK an AIDS diagnosis is confirmed if a person with HIV develops one or more of a specific number of severe opportunistic infections or cancers. In the US, someone may also be diagnosed with AIDS if they have a very low count of T helper cells in their blood. It is possible for someone to be very ill with HIV but not have an AIDS diagnosis.


If you are already in Stage 3 of the HIV symptoms, is it possible via medication to go back to Stage 2 or 1?
Okay, im 14 now (turning 15 soon) and i have had recurring mouth ulcers for more than two years. i will get them every single month two-five at a time. i get them on my tongue and all over my mouth but i have never had any kind of cold sore or sore outside of my mouth they have always been inside. when its really bad, ill have from 7-10 in my mouth and the doctor and orthodontist told me they are common and probably from a virus or stress related. Well, then i got a vaginal ulcer. It was so painful and scary because i had no idea how i could get one there, i'm a virgin and haven't had any kind of oral sex or anything basically so i went to my doctors office and got his assistant to look at it and she and him agreed that it couldn't be any kind of herpes or std because i am a virgin and they said it was probably something called apthous ulcers..? i think that was causing all of this. but they sent me to a pediatric gyno anyways who swabbed it and tested it. they didnt know what caused it but they didnt think it could be anything serious. test results came back from the swab and my gyno found two different stomach infections i was having and put me on medicine for them. So, i was taking two medications to fight off infections (one that gave me a nasty rash too) but still i got sick with fever and sore throat. i get sore throat/fever all the time but i never throw up usually. still my mom was worried and took me to the doctor. they were confused and didnt know how it was possible that i got sick because i was taking medication for infections. (i guess is was viral? i didn't really understand) they said i had some "mapping" on my tongue (my tongue was white and nasty looking) but i always get that when i have a sore throat. so they sent me to childrens hospital to get blood taken for testing. a week later, my doctor called saying my numbers were "off" and so they sent me to the infectious disease clinic in childrens hospital. this past week i went there and had to tell them about my ulcers and normal questions they had about my period and my vaginal ulcers (i had gotten another one in the same place after the first one went away) i had one of my ulcers that was popping up in my mouth swabbed and got more blood taken. they havent called back with the results yetsorry this is so long i just really want help and wanted to explain everything. the only symptoms i have now is that i am very tired and i get dizzy when i stand up (this has been happening for a long time) i get recurring ulcers andd thats about it. the doctors at the infectious disease clinic were asking me about something with my bowels acting up and they do act up sometimes but not like all the time so i didn't really have anything to say about it. i've been reading online and i'm guessing it is just the common apthous ulcers i just wanted someone else to confirm or share anything else that could be causing this& yes i do drink a lot of soda, but i cut it out completely at one point (& other acids)and still got them. i dont drink as much as i used to.& yes i do have braces, but i had been getting the ulcers before i had gotten my braces and i dont know how they could've rubbed up against my mouth this much and my orthodontist told me that the braces weren't the problem..& im getting them off soon. so thats all i have to say. and please answer this i know its not really a big deal i just want to know whats wrongi've seen the first answer to this,& wanted to say that i know they tested for any herpes or std and it came up negative. i'm not sure what stomach infection i had, but one medication i was on was called Bactrum (bactrim? idk) and the other medication was some long m name i dont remember. if you want to email me with any information my email is blueyedwonderx33@aol. com (or @yahoo. com, i have 2)thank you.
