Infectious Diseases - November 2006

i am a 24 years old girl. from about 2 months and a half i felt a lymph node on my neck, it was really small. i went to see a docter about it, he said that it is better to get it removed and have a bioposy. he did get it removed, and it was diagnosed to be caused by a virus. the problem it that right after the operation i had a very big lymph node in exactly the same place. i went to see another docter, he told me that it might be post operation complication or something. he told me to wait and not to worry about it. it has been about 2 months and the lymph node is still visible but it has decreased in size a lot. is it normal for a lymph node to stay that long, and how long will it take to dissappear? could this really be post operation complication or is it something else???

PLEASE READ VERY SCARY....WE ALL DO IT!

A woman went boating one Sunday taking with her some cans of coke which she put into the refrigerator of the boat. On Monday she was taken to the hospital and placed in the Intensive Care Unit. She died on Wednesday. The autopsy concluded she died of Leptospirosis. This was traced to the can of coke she drank from, not using a glass. Tests showed that the can was infected by dried rat urine and hence the disease Leptospirosis. Rat urine contains toxic and deadly substances.


It is highly recommended to thoroughly wash the upper part of soda cans before drinking out of them. The cans are typically stocked in warehouses and transported straight to the shops without being cleaned.


A study at NYCU showed that the tops of soda cans are more contaminated than public toilets (i .e.) full of germs and bacteria. So wash them with water before putting them to the mouth to avoid any kind of fatal accident.
