Lin, a 5-year-11-month-boy. He-had a fever 20 days ago with no obvious trigger and
reached
the highest oral- temperature of- 40°C, no obvious cough, runny nose, vomiting,
headache,
dizziness, melena, urinary frequency, urgency, and dysuria but had nose bleeding. He
visited a local hospital and-underwent a blood routine test: WBC=8.7X10°L, N=21%,
RBC= 3.36X10%/L, BPC=75X 10°/L, Hb=109g/L; peripheral -blood smear shows:
atypical cells 29%. The local hospital suspected "infectious mononucleosis", thus
intravenous ganciclovir was given and his blood was extracted to check for anti-EBV
antibody simultaneously.
After 6-days of intravenous ganciclovir, his body temperature still fluctuated at around:
38°C. Anti-EBVVCA-IgM(-), anti-VCA-IgG(+)

Mrs. G, a 62-year-old white woman, was seen in the emergency department for complaints of increasing shortness of breath. She stated that she had the flu approximately 1½ weeks earlier and that her breathing has been more difficult since that time. Her ankles have been swollen for the first time, and sleeping during this time has required "two pillows to support her." She stated that occasionally she awakens in the middle of the night noticeably short of breath. These episodes of nocturnal dyspnea are relieved by sitting up for several minutes.
She has been producing ¼ cup of yellow sputum since the onset of the flu. Her exercise tolerance was 1 block but is now 20 feet. Mrs. G stated that 7 years ago her family physician told her she had pulmonary emphysema. Mrs. G started smoking at age 12 and smoked approximately 2 packs of cigarettes a day until she quit 2 years ago. Mrs. G took the following home medications: small-volume nebulizer (SVN) with metaproterenol four…
