Create your own Lyme or Mono case study. I am looking for your demonstration and application of this week’s knowledge to a specific case study.
Choose one of the following case studies and make up the remainder of the case study of how you would envision the patient presenting with Lyme or Mono disease in your primary care clinic. What would be the patient’s symptoms, where would they have gotten their symptoms from?
Case Study: Mono Disease
Seth is a 15-year-old male who is an athletic soccer player. He presents to your clinic with his mother due to enlarged tonsils, sore throat, and extreme fatigue for three days.
