A 10 year old girl presents with a headache and difficulty breathing. Her mother says she's had sporadic fevers for the past week, which has interfered with her sleep. Inspection of her throat showed the presence of a dark gray pseudomembrane in the back of her throat, which prompts you to prescribe penicillin. What condition is the girl suffering from? A 45 year old female presents with a fever, chills, and shortness of breath. She tells you she thinks she has rabies because a squirrel bit her when she was tending to her garden a couple of weeks ago and she still has the mark to prove it. Upon further observation, you have questions since the bite mark you see on her hand looks more like a tick bite and is in the early stages of becoming an ulcer. You notice her lymph nodes in her armpits are larger than normal. What does the patient have?
