Muriel Dangleweed was a 21 year old student who had previously attended a Convent school before studying English at University. She had formed a liaison with a post graduate student who had spent two years teaching in Kenya. She presented to her GP with a very swollen throat, huge tonsils and feeling awful. She complained of urinary frequency and burning. After taking a urine specimen, the GP gave her amoxycillin for her urinary symptoms, 1.5 grams daily for two days. She returned 24 hrs later with a widespread macular rash. She looked awful. He took some blood and sent it to the laboratory. Your colleagues in the laboratory suggest you look for evidence of a virus infection in the blood. The fusty old Consultant Microbiologist handed the specimens to you and mentioned disdainfully “students and sex”. the diagnosis is Glandular fever (UTI), why? clinical justification. thank you!!!
