<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Eyepiece/ocular</h4>
It is situated at the top of the microscope and comes in various magnifying power.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Eyepiece tube</h4>
It holds the ocular or eyepiece just above the objective lens.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Objective lenses</h4>
In a compound microscope, the objective lenses are the main lenses which range from 4x to 100x.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Nosepiece</h4>
It is where the objective lenses are placed. You can easily rotate the nosepiece, which makes it easy for you to choose your preferred objective lens <br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Coarse and fine focus knobs</h4>
They are the parts of the microscope mainly used to focus the microscope. <sup><b>(4, 5, 6, and 7)</b></sup><br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Stage</h4>
The area of the microscope where the specimen to be studied is placed. When working with higher magnifications, a mechanical stage is used as it allows easy movement of specimen slide, specifically, when working with delicate specimens. <br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Stage clips</h4>
When there’s no mechanical stage, then a staged clip is used. You should move the slide manually and secure it in place with a staged clip. <br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Aperture</h4>
If you look at the microscope, you will notice that there is a hole in the stage where the light reaches the stage. <br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Illuminator</h4>
It is the source of light for the microscope. It is situated at the base of the microscope. The majority of compound microscopes use a low voltage halogen bulb.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Condenser</h4>
Its main function is to collect and focus the light from the light source (illuminator) on to the specimen. It is found under the stage adjacent to the iris diaphragm.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Iris diaphragm</h4>
Its main function is to control the amount of light that reaches the specimen. It is strategically located at the top of the condenser and just below the stage.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Condenser focus knob</h4>
The function of the condenser focus knob is to move the condenser in upward or downward motion so as to control the amount of light that reaches the specimen. <sup><b>(5, 7, 8, 9, and 10)</b></sup><br />

<br />
The mechanical parts of the microscope are meant to support the other parts. They are labeled mechanical because they help in the adjustment of other parts for accurate magnification of the object being studied. The following are what consist of the mechanical parts:<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Metal stand</b></h4>
The metal stand of a simple microscope has two primary components – base plate and vertical rod. The metal stand supports the entire parts of the microscope. It also provides stability to other parts.<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Stage </b> </h4>
It is a plate made of metal and rectangular in shape. It has a hole in the center which allows the light from the below to pass through. The function of the stage is to hold the slide containing the specimen being studies. <br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Slanting wings</b> </h4>
Although not usually found in all simple microscopes, some have a pair of slanting wings projecting from both sides of the stage. The function of the slanting wings is to support the hand when examining the subject. <b> <sup>(1, 2, 3, 4, and 5)</sup></b> </div>

<br />
The optical parts of a simple microscope are centered on the specimen – lighting, and magnification. They are as follows:<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Mirror</h4>
You can distinguish a simple microscope from other microscopes because of its mirror. It has a plano-convex mirror that focuses the surrounding light on the subject being studied. <br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Lens </h4>
It is a biconvex lens found above the stage. The purpose of the lens is to magnify the size of the subject being examined. The image of the object being studied can be enlarged through the lens enabling the examiner to thoroughly check the object. <b> <sup>(5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10)</sup></b> <br />
<br />
A simple microscope today looks totally different than what it is before. Although many industries use compound microscopes, there are still organizations that prefer to use a simple microscope because of the simplicity of use. Today, a simple microscope can be found useful in studying the particles of soil, check for the existence of different types of skin diseases, check for a sample algae and fungi, and in the jewelry business, specifically, checking the fine parts of jewelry.<br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">What is a scurvy?</span></h3>
It is a medical condition caused by vitamin C deficiency. Vitamin C is one of the essential vitamins as it is needed by the body to make collagen, a vital component of the connective tissues.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
What the connective tissues do is they play a vital role for the structure and support of the body, especially the structures of the blood vessels. It is also responsible for iron absorption, metabolism of cholesterol, and other bodily functions.<br />
<br />
When left untreated could lead to a variety of medical issues such as exhaustion, pain in the limbs and legs, anemia, swelling in some parts of the body, spontaneous bleeding, and formation of ulcers in the gums. In fact, it can even cause your tooth. <b><sup>(1, 2, 3, and 4)</sup></b><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Scurvy signs and symptoms</span></h3>
The symptoms of scurvy appear after eight to twelve weeks of being deficient from vitamin C. Cardinal signs and symptoms are as follows:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Loss of appetite</li>
<li>Weight loss</li>
<li>Easy irritability</li>
<li>Easily gets tired</li>
<li>Lethargy</li>
<li>Muscle and bone pain <b><sup>(5)<sup></sup></sup></b></li>
<li>Anemia</li>
<li>Noticeable edema or swelling</li>
<li>Shortness of breath</li>
<li>Small red spots secondary to bleeding underneath the skin (petechiae)</li>
<li>Poor wound healing</li>
<li>Corkscrew hair</li>
<li>Gum-related issues and loss of a tooth<b> <sup>(3, 4)</sup></b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<!-- adsense -->
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Who is at risk for scurvy?</span></h3>
The body cannot synthesize vitamin C. It should come from external sources. The rich sources of vitamin C are fruits and vegetables as well as foods fortified with vitamin C. People at risk for scurvy are the following:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Those who are not fond of eating fruits and vegetables.</li>
<li>Those suffering from anorexia and mental health-related conditions.</li>
<li>Those with restrictive diet secondary to food allergy.</li>
<li>Those who are chronically abusing alcoholic beverages and illegal drugs.</li>
<li>Those who are already in their older age. <b><sup>(4, 5, 6, and 7)</sup></b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Diagnosis</span></h3>
A physical exam and laboratory test will be done to find out the level of vitamin C in the body. An imaging study will also be ordered to determine the extent of the damage caused by scurvy.<br />

<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Treatment</span></h3>
To supplement the body's need for vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and to eventually get rid of scurvy, the doctor will give the patient vitamin C supplements, which can be given via the oral route or through injection.<br />
<br />
The dosage varies with the patient's age and general health condition. after 24 hours of treatment, the patient will notice a significant improvement on his condition. However, bleeding will be resolved in one to two weeks' time.<b> <sup>(6, 7, 8, and 9)</sup></b><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">What can you do to prevent scurvy?</span></h3>
You should increase your intake of vitamin C rich foods and supplement. Foods rich in vitamin C are oranges, berries, papaya, kiwi fruit, lemons, tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, spinach, potatoes, and bell peppers. You can also take vitamin C supplement, especially if you are the type of person who does not like eating fruits and vegetables. <b><sup>(5, 8, 9, and 10)</sup>.</b><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">What is Cushing syndrome?</span></h3>
A Cushing syndrome is a group of symptoms that develop as a result of an extremely high cortisol level in the body. Hence, the condition is also called hypercortisolism. There are a variety of reasons why the level of cortisol goes out of control. <b><sup>(1, 2, and 3)</sup></b><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Cushing syndrome symptoms</span></h3>
The symptoms vary from one person to another. Some people have mild symptoms like an irregular menstrual period and weight gain. On the other hand, those with severe symptoms experience weight gain, especially in the trunk area, high blood pressure, mood swing, memory lapses, excessive hair growth in women, easy irritability, and difficulty concentrating.<b> <sup>(3, 4, and 5)</sup></b><br />
<br />
<!-- adsense -->
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Cushing syndrome causes</span></h3>
The adrenal gland is the one producing the hormone cortisol. A normal level of cortisol in the body helps regulate a healthy vascular system, strengthen the body's ability to cope with stress, balances the effect of insulin, helps convert carbohydrates into energy, and improve the body's inflammatory response. However, an extremely high level of cortisol could cause an imbalance to the normal functions of the body. Causes of high cortisol level include the following:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>malnutrition</li>
<li>exposure to a high level of stress such as surgery-related stress, emotional stress, physical stress, and mental stress.</li>
<li>excessive intake of alcohol<b> (2)</b></li>
<li>use of corticosteroid medications</li>
<li>tumor in the pituitary gland</li>
<li>familial Cushing syndrome<b> <sup>(3)</sup></b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Cushing syndrome vs Cushing disease</span></h3>
A Cushing syndrome is different from a Cushing disease. The former pertains to the collection of symptoms linked with the excess level of cortisol in the body. The latter is a disease condition caused by a tumor in the pituitary gland leading to over secretion of hormone ACTH. <b><sup>(5, 6, and 7)</sup></b><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Cushing syndrome diagnosis</span></h3>
How is Cushing syndrome diagnosed? The diagnosis is made based on the level of cortisol in the body. Laboratory testing and blood works should be done to come up with the most accurate diagnosis. Some of the diagnostic procedures include:<br />
<ul>
<li>A 24-hour urinary free cortisol test<b> <sup>(8)</sup></b></li>
<li>low dose dexamethasone suppression test/high dose dexamethasone suppression test</li>
<li>midnight plasma cortisol measurement</li>
<li>late night salivary cortisol measurement</li>
<li>corticotropin-releasing hormone stimulation test</li>
<li>CT scan</li>
<li>MRI scan <b><sup>(7)</sup></b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Cushing's syndrome treatment</span></h3>
What are the available treatments for Cushing syndrome? The treatment approach primarily depends on the cause. Doctors usually prescribe drugs that can significantly decrease the production of cortisol and another drug that helps block the effect of excess cortisol in the body. If the Cushing syndrome is caused by a tumor, it should be removed surgically. If the tumor is malignant, the best course of action includes radiation therapy and chemotherapy. A person with a Cushing syndrome is strongly advised to be selective in the foods he/she eats. Cushing syndrome diet includes eating foods high in calcium and protein and low in calorie. <b><sup>(8, 9, and 10)</sup></b><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">What are the possible complications?</span></h3>
Cushing syndrome should be treated right away to prevent serious and irreversible complications. Some of the possible complications include muscle loss, bone fracture and bone loss, susceptibility to infection, type 2 diabetes mellitus, a possibility of kidney stones, high blood pressure, and enlargement of tumor in the pituitary gland. <b><sup>(5, 10)</sup></b><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Peyronie's disease causes</span></h3>
The exact cause of Peyronie disease isn't clear yet. However, there are factors believed to contribute to the disease such as repeated injury to the penis. Factors leading to penile injury include athletic activities, too much sex, use of sex toys, and a direct blow to the penis. As the penis heals, scar tissues form in a disorganized way leading to an abnormal curvature of the penis and palpable nodule. <b><sup>(4, 5, and 6)</sup></b><br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Who are at risk?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Those who have a family history of Peyronie disease are prone to having one.</li>
<li>People with connective tissue disorder are prone to having Peyronie disease. </li>
<li>Peyronie disease is common in men 55 years old and above.<b> <sup>(7)</sup></b></li>
<li>Those who have undergone prostate surgery are prone to Peyronie disease.</li>
<li>A sedentary lifestyle like smoking and drinking alcoholic beverage increases your chance of having a Peyronie disease. <b><sup>(6, 7)</sup></b></li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">What are the complications?</span></h3>
People with Peyronie disease have the ability to maintain an erection, which could significantly affect their sexual life. It could be extremely difficult for someone with Peyronie to father a child because his ability to have a sexual intercourse with his partner is significantly affected. Not being able to maintain a healthy sexual bond with your partner can cause anxiety and stress. <b><sup>(7, 8)</sup></b><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">When should you consult your doctor?</span></h3>
You should immediately see your doctor if you start to experience severe pain in your penile area.<b> <sup>(8)</sup></b><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Peyronie's disease treatment</span></h3>
A mild case of Peyronie disease usually improves without treatment. It could take a few months to a year for you to notice a significant improvement. For severe cases, recovery could take more than a year. Peyronie's disease cure includes prescription pill like potassium para-aminobenzoate and pentoxifylline. If the condition does not improve, the doctor could give a verapamil shot into the scar tissues of the penis.If the condition still does not improve, then the last resort would be surgery. <b><sup>(8, 9, and 10)</sup></b><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Peyronie disease natural treatment</span></h3>
There are herbs that can significantly help improve the condition of patients with Peyronie disease. These include Gotu Kola, castor oil, bromelain, and acetyl-l-carnitine. They can significantly help reduce the formation of fibrous tissues underneath the skin and improve the body's immune system. <b><sup>(5, 8)</sup></b><br />

Wellbutrin is a prescription medication intended for the treatment of depression, seasonal affective disorder (depression that takes place during winter and fall), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), bipolar disorder, and helps people quit smoking.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
However, just like any other types of prescription drugs, wellbutrin causes side effects such as agitation, drying of the mouth, migraine-like headache, nausea with or without vomiting, constipation, dizziness, tremors, difficulty sleeping, blurring of vision, increased heart rate, excessive sweating, and itchy hive-like rashes. <b><sup>(1, 2, 3, and 4)</sup></b><br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Wellbutrin side effects rash</span></h3>
One of the common side effects of wellbutrin is the hive-like rash. To some people, it is not mainly a side effect, but more like an allergic reaction to wellbutrin. The type and severity of rash vary from one people to another. Some have mild rashes while others have severe rashes all over the body. Some notice mild redness on the skin while others complain of itchy, tiny bumps and peeling. Those who have severe rashes such as hive-like symptoms may also have runny nose, watery eyes, wheezing, and low blood pressure.<b> <sup>(4, 5)</sup></b><br />
<br />
How long does it take before the rashes appear? To some people, the rash appears a few minutes after taking the drugs. Others have delayed reaction to the drugs. The rashes appear a few hour or even days or weeks. Any types of rashes related to taking wellbutrin should not be taken lightly. Wellbutrin may cause anaphylactic shock, which is an extremely fatal condition. If not dealt with right away could lead to death. If you have severe rashes, peeling, blistering, fever, chills, swelling of the face, and difficulty breathing, you need to go to the hospital the soonest time possible. <b><sup>(4, 5, 6, and 7)</sup></b><br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Wellbutrin rash treatment</span></h3>
If you developed rashes while on wellbutrin, the first approach is to inform your doctor right away. Do not abruptly stop taking the drug unless your doctor told you so. Wellbutrin when stopped abruptly may affect the body in a negative way. What doctors usually do is they taper down the dose until such time that the drug is totally stopped.<br />
<br />
When stopped abruptly, it could lead to anxiety, dizziness, agitation, shaking, restlessness, and inability to sleep soundly at night. The only reason the drug is forced to stop abruptly is when it causes severe itching, swelling, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. If the condition does not improve after stopping the medication, an antihistamine and epinephrine injection are needed. <b><sup>(7, 8, and 9)</sup></b><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">What is Apert syndrome?</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
An Apert syndrome also known as Acrocephalosyndactyly syndrome is a genetic disorder that primarily affects the skull bones.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Its typical characteristic is a premature fusion of the skull bones, which prevents the skull from growing normally leading to a distorted shape of the head and face. The premature fusion also affects the bones of the fingers and toes. <b><sup>(1, 2, and 3)</sup></b><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">What causes Apert syndrome?</span></h3>
It is caused by a rare mutation of the single gene, which is responsible for helping bones to fuse together during the development stage. It is an extremely rare condition, which could take place in one out of 65,000 babies.<b> <sup>(3, 4)</sup></b><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Apert syndrome symptoms</span></h3>
<ul>
<li>The skull bones fused prematurely and as the brain grows it puts pressure on the skull and face resulting in a long head and a high forehead.</li>
<li>the middle face is sunken <b><sup>(5)</sup></b></li>
<li>wide-set bulging eyes</li>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Apert syndrome diagnosis</span></h3>
A diagnosis is made based on the newborn's appearance. If the doctor is suspecting an Apert syndrome, he will order genetic testing to be certain if it is really an Apert syndrome or something else. A thorough physical examination of the infant's skull and face will be done. To thoroughly view the skull and the bones in the hands and feet, an x-ray or CT scan is ordered. These procedures are done on the patient's first appointment to make sure that accurate diagnosis is made and that treatment and management will be started the soonest time possible. <b><sup>(5, 6, and 7)</sup></b><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Apert syndrome treatment</span></h3>
Unfortunately, there is no cure for Apert syndrome. However, there are management procedures that can be done to significantly improve the patient's quality of life. Apert syndrome surgery is done to somehow improve the patient's condition and prevent further complications. A craniosynostosis release procedure is performed when a child is between ages six to eight months to separate abnormally fused skull bones and rearrange them. The patient also needs to be seen by a psychologist and a therapist to assist with speech, language, and overall development. The patient also needs to be seen by an ophthalmologist to check for any abnormalities. <b><sup>(7, 8, and 9)</sup></b><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Apert syndrome prognosis</span></h3>
The prognosis is good if surgical procedures and management are given to the patient at a young age. If surgical procedures are performed at later years of life, there is a possibility that the patient will not be able to reach a normal intellectual ability. As a matter of fact, there is a possibility that some structures in the brain may remain poorly developed even after the surgery. Those with Apert syndrome have a normal life expectancy, especially if raised and being taken good care of by their parents. About four out of 10 children with Apert syndrome achieve a normal intellectual ability provided they are raised in a healthy family environment.<b> <sup>(5, 9, and 10)</sup></b><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">What is a DiGeorge syndrome?</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
It is an immunodeficiency disorder caused by the absence of a small segment of chromosome 22. It is also known as 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
DiGeorge syndrome causes have something to do with the abnormal migration of cells and tissues during the development of fetus inside the mother's womb or could also occur during fertilization stage (either paternal or maternal side). <b><sup>(1, 2, and 3)</sup></b><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">How is DiGeorge syndrome inherited?</span></h3>
DiGeorge syndrome occurs randomly. In fact, most cases are not inherited in nature. Many people who have it don't have a family history of DiGeorge syndrome. About 10% of DiGeorge syndrome cases are inherited from parents. If you have a DiGeorge syndrome, there is a 10% chance that you can pass the disease to your offspring.<b> <sup>(4, 5, and 6) </sup></b><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">DiGeorge syndrome symptoms</span></h3>
<ul>
<li>Facial anomalies - underdeveloped chin, ears rotated back, and big eyelids.</li>
<li>Cardiac issues - It affects the aortic chamber of the heart. People with DiGeorge syndrome have a mild heart defect.</li>
<li>abnormalities of the thymus gland - The thymus gland plays an important role in the development of the immune system. It is responsible for the development and maturation of T-lymphocyte. In the case of DiGeorge syndrome, the patient has a small thymus gland, which leads to a low level of T-lymphocyte.The patient has a weak immune system, which makes him prone to various types of infections.There is also a possibility that the immune system attacks its own healthy cells leading to conditions like idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura, arthritis, and hemolytic anemia.</li>
<li>abnormality of the parathyroid gland - Patients with DiGeorge syndrome is prone to seizures because of low calcium level in the blood.</li>
<li>Other clinical features - delayed speech, cleft palate, behavioral problem, difficulty swallowing, difficulty eating, and learning disability. <b><sup>(4, 5, 6, and 7)</sup></b></li>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">DiGeorge syndrome prevalence</span></h3>
DiGeorge syndrome is an extremely rare disease. The ratio is 1 for every 3000 live births. <b><sup>(6, 8)</sup></b><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">DiGeorge syndrome treatment</span></h3>
The treatment for DiGeorge syndrome is geared towards management of the symptoms and preventing further complications. Therapy plays a big role in the overall wellness of the patient. To prevent seizure attacks, the patient's calcium level should be normalized. Heart-related problems should be dealt with using medications or surgery when deemed necessary. The T-lymphocyte level should be regularly checked because an extremely low T-lymphocyte could lead to fatal complications. The treatment approach primarily depends on the overall condition of the patient.<b> <sup>(6, 8, and 9)</sup></b><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">DiGeorge syndrome life expectancy</span></h3>
People with DiGeorge syndrome have a normal lifespan for as long as the clinical manifestations and complications are managed correctly. Children with DGS usually survive into adulthood and the symptoms and complications become less of an issue as the person grows old. Patients are highly encouraged to have a regular checkup so that problems will be detected the earliest possible time and the patient will be able to receive timely care. <b><sup>(4, 10)</sup></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">DiGeorge syndrome prognosis</span></h3>
The prognosis is good for as long as the symptoms are managed in a correct and timely manner.<b> <sup>(2, 4)</sup></b><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">What is a lamictal rash?</span></h3>
Lamotrigine, popularly known as lamictal is a drug used to treat neurologic disorders such as neuropathic pain, epilepsy, depression, and bipolar disorder.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, some people develop a hypersensitivity reaction to lamictal. It leads to the formation of rash and other undesirable symptoms. <b><sup>(1, 2, and 3)</sup></b><br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">What causes lamictal rash?</span></h3>
The exact cause of lamictal rash is not clear but is linked with a high initial dose of lamictal. Medical practitioners strongly advised lowering the initial dose of lamictal. A rash is most likely to occur in patients with a hypersensitivity reaction to lamictal. It occurs when the immune system overreacts to the composition of the drug. Another factor that triggers lamictal rash is taking valproic acid. Other factors that put you at risk for lamictal rash include the following:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Children are more prone to having a hypersensitivity reaction to lamictal than adults.</li>
<li>People with untoward side effects to epileptic drugs are more likely to develop lamictal rash.</li>
<li>Those who have a family history of drug hypersensitivity increases the chance of having lamictal rash.</li>
<li>Rapid dose escalation increases the possibility of lamictal rash. <b><sup>(4, 5, and 6)</sup></b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">How to get rid of lamictal rash?</span></h3>
What is the appropriate treatment for lamictal rash? A mild form of lamictal rash usually goes away on its own as the dose of the drug is tapered down. It is strongly advised to lower the initial dose of lamictal so that untoward side effects and adverse reactions will be prevented. If the rashes continue to persist, then the drug should be stopped right away. The doctor might prescribe an antihistamine or an oral corticosteroid to counteract the rashes. For severe rashes, the doctor might perform other testing procedures to check if other parts of the body are affected. To prevent the possibility of having a lamictal rash, the initial dose should be kept to a minimum thereby giving the body an ample time to adjust the composition of the drug. <b><sup>(7, 8, ,9, and 10)</sup></b><br />

Lupus is an autoimmune disorder wherein the immune system attacks its own healthy cells causing inflammation and damage to the tissues. Lupus is medically called systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).<br />
<br />
The condition is more common in women than men, but men's symptoms are more severe than that of women. One of the early lupus symptoms is butterfly rash. It is primarily found on the face, but the rash could also be found in other parts of the body.<b> <sup>(1, 2, and 3)</sup></b><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">What causes sun rash?</span></h3>
A sun rash is a result of the changes in the skin when it is exposed to the heat of the sun. Some components of the sun are perceived by the immune system as foreign material thereby forming an allergic reaction in the form of rashes and blister formation. However, this reaction does not occur to all people. It only happens to people who are hypersensitive to the rays of the sun.<b> <sup>(2, 3, and 4)</sup></b><br />
<br />
<!-- adsense -->
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">A rash from sun is grouped into different categories. They are the following:</span></h3>
<ol>
<li>Polymorphous light eruption (PMLE) - The skin exposed to the sun becomes itchy and filled with rashes. This type of sun rash is more common in women than men and it at its peak during summer and spring. During the first two hours of sun exposure, the patient experiences severe itching and burning sensation, especially in areas exposed to the sun such as arms, lower legs, neck, and upper chest.The patient also complains of headache and nausea. How long does sun rash last? If you avoid exposure to the sun, the rashes will soon be gone, usually within three days' time. <b><sup>(3, 4, and 5)</sup></b></li>
<li>Actinic prurigo - The symptoms are more severe than that of the polymorphous light eruption. The rashes are more concentrated on the face, especially around the lips. It commonly affects the American Indian population. <b><sup>(5, 6)</sup></b></li>
<li>Photo allergic reaction - It is a rash from sunscreen. The rays of the sun reacts to the chemicals of the sunscreen causing an allergic reaction. Aside from sunscreen, other things that can trigger an allergic reaction when exposed to extreme heat of the sun include cosmetics, antibiotic ointment, and even fragrances. The rashes are red and itchy and sometimes tiny blisters are formed.The rashes do not instantly occur after sun exposure. It usually takes two days before the rashes are formed. <b><sup>(4, 5, and 6)</sup></b></li>
<li>Solar urticaria - The sun rash on hands and other parts of the body exposed to the sun have large, itchy, red bumps also known as hives. It commonly affects young women. <b><sup>(2, 3, 10)</sup></b></li>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">What is a hurler syndrome?</span></h3>
A hurler syndrome is a medical condition caused by a deficiency in alpha-L-iduronidase, an enzyme that breaks down mucopolysaccharide molecules. An absence of this enzyme causes abnormal accumulation of mucopolysaccharide in the body.<br />
<br />
The condition is sometimes called hurler-Scheie syndrome because of the two clinical subtypes: Hurler syndrome and Scheie syndrome. <b><sup>(1, 2, and 3)</sup></b><br />

Treating and managing hurler syndrome require a multidisciplinary approach. The treatment and management approach primarily depends on the patient's age and overall condition of the patient. Commonly used treatment methods are as follows:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) - It is the treatment of choice for patients 2 years old and below. It is extremely helpful in prolonging the patient's ability to survive. It is a must to perform HSCT in the early stage of the disease.</li>
<li>Enzyme replacement therapy - It is a life-long therapy for patients with Hurler syndrome. Its purpose is to alleviate non-neurologic symptoms. </li>
<li>Bone marrow transplant - It helps slow down the progression of the disease. As a matter of fact, it is helpful in preventing mental retardation when given in the early stage of the disease. </li>
<li>Other treatment approaches include supportive and palliative care such as speech therapy, physical therapy, respiratory support, pain medication, hearing aid, and the likes. All this to significantly improve the quality of life. <b><sup>(5, 6, 7, and 8)</sup></b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Hurler syndrome life expectancy</span></h3>
Those with mild Hurler syndrome have a normal lifespan. People with moderate Hurler syndrome have a lifespan of teenage years to early adult for as long as symptoms are managed properly. People with severe Hurler syndrome seldom reach 10 years of life. They die of cardiac and respiratory complications.<br />
<br />
People with Hurler syndrome requires a life-long care. They should be seen by a team of medical experts and should be closely monitored by significant others. The condition itself cannot be treated, but there are plenty of ways to lengthen and improve the quality of life. It is a must to detect the condition at an early age so that preventive and palliative care will be given to the patient. Symptoms and complications are extremely difficult to manage if they reach the advanced stage. <b><sup>(7, 8, 9, and 10)</sup></b><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Is intertrigo contagious?</span></h3>
Intertrigo rash is not contagious in any way. It cannot be passed from one person to another even with direct skin contact. <b><sup>(6, 7)</sup></b><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Intertrigo rash treatment</span></h3>
The focus of treatment is on the prevention of things or circumstances that predispose the person to intertrigo rash. The use of prescription medication is rare. Intertrigo treatment management mostly involves home treatment and natural remedies, which include the following:<br />
<ul>
<li>For inflammation and itch, a mild topical steroid cream is used.</li>
<li>For severe itching, the doctor might recommend antifungal medications.</li>
<li>Wear breathable clothing to promote air circulation and prevent moisture buildup.</li>
<li>Apply drying agent such as powder containing cornstarch.</li>
<li>Itching sensation can be alleviated by applying a cold compress.</li>
<li>Apply virgin oil to the affected area to retain the moisture of the skin and prevent scar formation.</li>
<li>Itching and irritation can be reduced by simply applying aloe vera extract. <b><sup>(8, 9, and 10)</sup></b></li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">What are the possible complications?</span></h3>
</div>
<div>
If intertrigo rashes are not dealt with right away, there is a possibility that harmful microorganisms will accumulate in the skin folds leading to fungal and bacterial infections. If the rashes do not seem to improve despite home remedies and over-the-counter treatment, then you should contact your doctor. A thorough and in-depth test will be performed to determine the appropriate course of action. <b><sup>(3, 9, and 10)</sup></b></div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">What is a Sanfilippo syndrome?</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
A Sanfilippo syndrome is a genetic disease caused by gene deformity. It is also a metabolic and neurodegenerative disease. It is a metabolic disease in the sense that the body cannot break down mucopolysaccharides or glycosaminoglycans.<br />
<br />
<br />
It is a neurodegenerative disease in the sense that it primarily affects the central nervous system. Over time, it damages the brain causing cognitive-related symptoms such as loss of speech, hyperactivity, seizures, sleeplessness, mental retardation, dementia, and death.<b> <sup>(1, 2, and 3)</sup></b><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Sanfilippo syndrome symptoms</span></h3>
Sanfilippo is a cunning condition. It can go undetected for years. In fact, many people who have Sanfilippo were born without visible signs and symptoms. Clinical manifestations start to show up when the child is in the preschool stage. Most of the time, the disease is mistaken for other disease condition. The signs and symptoms of Sanfilippo syndrome are broken down int stages. <b><sup>(3, 4)</sup></b><br />
<ul>
<li>Stage 1 - The child's speaking ability is delayed. There is a mild facial abnormality and behavioral problem. At the early stage of Sanfilippo, the child is often incorrectly diagnosed of autism. Other noticeable signs and symptoms include chipped teeth, recurrent cavity, headache secondary to accummulation of fluid pressure on the brain, noticeable large head, and mild bone deformity such as flared ribs. <b><sup>(4, 5)</sup></b></li>
<li>Stage 2 - At this stage, the child becomes overactive, which comes up with a diagnosis of ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). The child demonstrates difficult behavior and is restless and sleepless.The child screams even when not triggered. He also has major temper tantrums. <b><sup>(5, 6)</sup></b></li>
<li>Stage 3 - At this stage, the classic signs and symptoms of Sanfilippo syndrome are evident. The patient's body literally shuts down. The patient can no longer eat, walk, and talk on his own. He becomes prone to infection such as pneumonia. The quality of life is poor and most likely, the patient dies at this stage. <b><sup>(5, 6)</sup></b></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">What causes gum disease?</span></h3>
There are naturally residing bacteria in the mouth. They are good bacteria, but once their number grows out of control, it could lead to infection. Excessive bacterial growth can be caused by poor hygiene, smoking, hormonal imbalance especially in women, side effects of medication, diabetes, crooked or overlapping teeth, excessive alcohol intake, and poor nutrition. <b><sup>(4, 5)</sup></b><br />

<ul>
<li>gingivitis - It is a mild form of gum disease characterized by red and swollen gums. There is also a possibility of gum bleeding.</li>
<li>periodontitis - It is the advanced form of gingivitis. The gums separate from the teeth and form pockets leading to a severe infection. As the infection advances, more gum tissues are destroyed including the bones. <b><sup>(5, 6, and 7)</sup></b></li>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Diagnosis</span></h3>
</div>
<div>
The doctor will thoroughly examine your gums for any signs of inflammation. A probe is used to check for pockets and measure the size. Aside from the routine check, the doctor will also ask questions regarding your oral hygiene as well as activities that could increase the risk of gum diseases such as smoking and diabetes mellitus. An x-ray is also ordered to check for any signs of bone loss.</div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Periodontal disease treatment</span></h3>
How to get rid of gum disease? What is the best gum disease treatment? The type of treatment varies depending on the nature and extent of infection. Most of the treatments require the patient to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid doing things that can further aggravate the condition such as smoking. The doctor might prescribe antibiotics, pain reliever, and anti-inflammatories. The rest can be done right in the comfort of home. Gum disease treatment at home include the following:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>hydrogen peroxide - Its antibacterial property makes it effective in killing harmful microorganisms in the mouth.</li>
<li>green tea - It helps reduce inflammation.</li>
<li>baking soda diluted in water - It neutralizes the acid in the mouth that might cause gum disease.</li>
<li>saltwater rinse - It destroys bacteria and reduces inflammation. <b><sup>(6, 8, and 9)</sup></b></li>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Anxiety has a detrimental effect not only on the mind but also on the body. It puts a great deal of stress on the body. Various organs in the body react differently to stress. The skin, being the largest organ in the body reacts to stress in the form of a rash and other skin irregularities. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
The severity of the rash depends on your anxiety level. One thing to keep in mind though, not all people experience anxiety rash. It depends on the person's tolerance to stress and biochemical makeup of the body. <b><sup>(1, 2, and 3)</sup></b><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Can anxiety cause rashes?</span></h3>
Anxiety itself does not cause a rash, but the stress brought by anxiety causes a rash. If the body is in a state of stress, it releases hormones adrenaline and cortisol and both can trigger skin reactions. If you have an existing skin condition, it could be further aggravated by stress. <b><sup>(2, 3, and 4)</sup></b><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Is it really an anxiety rash or something else?</span></h3>
It is quite difficult to differentiate an anxiety rash from other types of skin rash because a skin reaction tends to look the same. Hence, the best way to differentiate an anxiety rash from that of other types of skin rash is to manage the stress level and see for yourself if the rash has improved or not. Dermatologists conduct a series of tests and procedures if they suspect that the rash is caused by something else. <b><sup>(5, 6, and 8)</sup></b><br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">How does anxiety rash look like?</span></h3>
An anxiety rash is often tagged as stress hives. Anxiety rash symptoms are as follows:<br />
<ul>
<li>presence of red bumps on the skin</li>
<li>the affected areas of the skin are swollen <b><sup>(10)</sup></b></li>
<li>the skin is itchy and painful at the same time</li>
<li>the size varies from small to large and can spread from one place to another<b><sup>(7)</sup></b></li>

<br />
There are various forms of anxiety rash and they are grouped into the following categories:<br />
<ul>
<li>stress hives - This is a stress-induced rash characterized by itchy bumps. Those who are prone to hives will most likely have a rash when anxious.</li>
<li>Sweat rash - If you are anxious, you tend to sweat a lot, which triggers sweat rash/heat rash. It can be extremely itchy, although, it does not have any serious implications. It usually takes two weeks or more for the rash to completely disappear.</li>
<li>Specific-triggered rash - If you have an existing skin condition, an exposure to stress can further worsen the condition. Examples are psoriasis, eczema, herpes, and the likes. <b><sup>(8, 9, and 10) </sup></b></li>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">How to get rid of stress rash? </span></h3>
What can you do to treat and prevent anxiety-related rash? First and foremost, anxiety rash is caused by exposure to stress and so it is important to manage stress as it is one of the best treatments and preventions for anxiety rash.<br />
<br />
Some cases of anxiety rash tend to go away as your stress level goes down. However, if you are experiencing severe swelling, itching, and inflammation, you need to see your doctor.

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Klippel-Feil syndrome </span></h3>
What is a Klippel-Feil syndrome? It is a musculoskeletal defect characterized by union of two vertebrae in the neck. KFS is a congenital and genetic in nature, which means that the patient has it at birth.

<br />
<u><b>There are two types of amoxicillin rash: Hives and Maculopapular rash. </b></u><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
What is a hive? </h3>
It is a raised itchy bump on the skin, typically red or white that appears after one or two doses of amoxicillin. If your child is taking amoxicillin and developed hives after taking it, then you should immediately call your health care provider. The allergic reaction could get worse leading to swelling and difficulty breathing.<br />
<br />
Another type of amoxicillin rash is the <u><b>maculopapular rash</b></u>. The skin will have a flat, red patches on the skin. It usually appears between three and 10 days after taking amoxicillin. The rashes usually affect the body, particularly the trunk. However, it could also appear elsewhere such as the face. <sup><b>(2, 3, 4)</b></sup><br />
<br />
<!-- adsense -->
<h3>
How long does amoxicillin allergic reaction rash last?</h3>
Amoxicillin rash usually lasts three days, but it could extend up to six days, depending on the severity of the rash and the patient's coping mechanism. <b><sup>(4)</sup></b><br />
<br />
<h3>
How to treat an allergic reaction to amoxicillin?</h3>
There is no necessary treatment for amoxicillin rash. However, if the child develops severe allergic reaction such as hives, you can somehow ease the patient's discomfort by giving him Benadryl. Stop taking amoxicillin until further instructions from your health care provider.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: red;">Let your doctor see your child for proper assessment and thorough medical instructions. </span></i>Do not give any antibiotic without the go signal of your doctor. <sup><b>(4, 5, and 6)</b></sup><br />
<br />
<h3>
Is amoxicillin rash dangerous?</h3>
Rashes caused by amoxicillin are not dangerous. However, severe allergic reaction to amoxicillin can be life-threatening. There could be a possibility of anaphylactic shock. Hence, if you notice a severe allergic reaction to amoxicillin, you should immediately stop giving the medication and contact your doctor for help and further instruction.<br />
<br />
Generally, once the patient has developed sensitivity reaction to amoxicillin, he can take the drug again next time when deemed necessary. Studies showed that only 5% of people who have amoxicillin rash get it again the next time around. <sup>(5, 6, and 8)</sup><br />
<br />
<h3>
When should you call out for help?</h3>
<ul>
<li>If the rashes of the patient get severe such as in the case of hives.</li>
<li>If the patient complains of severe itching and discomfort.</li>
<li>If the amoxicillin rash lasts for more than a week.<b><sup>(6, 7)</sup></b></li>
</ul>

Morgellons disease symptoms</h3>
<ul>
<li>An itchy rash/sore<b> <sup>(3)</sup></b></li>
<li>A crawling feeling on/under the skin</li>
<li>A feeling like an insect is moving or biting the skin</li>

<li>Inability to focus</li>
<li>Fatigue and restlessness</li>
<li>Short-term memory loss <sup><b>(2)</b></sup></li>
</ul>
<!-- adsense -->
<h3>
Is Morgellons disease contagious?</h3>
<div>
There is no proof yet if the disease is contagious or not. Many health experts believed that it is not contagious since the actual cause of the disease is still unknown. It might be related to an infection process in the skin cells, but no evidence yet to affirm the suspicion.<br />
<br />
Some health experts believed that Morgellons disease is a type of psychotic disorder making the person believe that there is something unusual happening inside his body. It could be infested with a parasite rather than a diagnosis based on clinical manifestations. <sup><b>(3, 4, and 5)</b></sup></div>
<h3>
<br />Morgellons disease treatment</h3>
<div>
There is no specific cure for Morgellons disease. The focus of care is based on the individual complaints and symptoms of the patient. Many people who show signs and symptoms of Morgellons disease benefitted from psychosis and tick treatment. <sup><b>(5, 6)</b></sup></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
How to cope with Morgellons disease?</h3>
<div>
People who complain of Morgellons disease are surely in a great deal of stress and discomfort. Although health care professionals may disagree on the very nature of the patient's condition, they would still offer compassionate care because after all, it is every patient's rights.<br />
<br />
To provide comfort to the patient, the doctor will acknowledge the patient's concern and will provide symptomatic care. Most of the time, the patient's behavior, mood, and thinking are affected. Hence, the patient is treated for anxiety and any other related concerns. <sup><b>(5, 6, and 7)</b></sup></div>
<div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Prognosis</h3>
</div>
<div>
It is difficult to determine the prognosis of Morgellons disease given the fact that the disorder lacks clarity when it comes to symptoms, clinicl diagnosis, and cause. Morgellons disease is still not recognized as a distinct medical condition. It does not meet the diagnostic criteria that are accepted by the medical community. <sup><b>(4, 6, and 7)</b></sup></div>

<h3>
What is a potter's syndrome?</h3>
It is named after Edith Potter, a
pathologist who first described the characteristics of a Potter's
syndrome. A Potter's syndrome is the term used to describe an infant
with unusual physical appearance secondary to pressure in the uterus
caused by oligohydramnios. The infant has a recessed chin, low set,
cartilage deficient ears, parrot-beaked nose, and a prominent epicanthal
fold. <sup><b>(1, 2)</b></sup><br />

<h3>
Types of potter's syndrome</h3>
<ol>
<li>Type I - The kidneys are enlarged and have small fluid-filled cysts.</li>
<li>Type II - Absence of one kidney or complete agenesis.</li>
<li>Type III - Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.</li>
<li>Type IV- A long-standing obstruction in the ureter or kidney. <sup><b>(2, 3, and 4)</b></sup></li>
</ol>
<!-- adsense -->
<h3>
What causes potter's syndrome?</h3>
<div>
The primary cause of potter's syndrome is kidney failure. It is the kidneys that produce amniotic fluid in the form of urine. It could also be due to the rupture of the amniotic sac during pregnancy. The amniotic sac contains the amniotic fluid, which is important in the development of the fetus.<br />
<br />
It protects the fetus inside the womb. Possible reasons behind the rupture of the amniotic sac are maternal trauma, maternal genetics, and environmental factors. <sup><b>(4, 5, and 6)</b></sup></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Diagnosing potter's syndrome</h3>
<div>
A color doppler is used to identify insufficient renal artery signal. The umbilical arteries are observed to check the condition of the urinary bladder. To diagnose a newborn, various tests should be performed such as abdominal x-ray, x-ray of the lungs, checking of the glomerular filtration rate and urinary tract ultrasound. <sup><b>(5, 6)</b></sup></div>
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Management of patient with potter's syndrome</h3>
There is a tendency that the baby will soon die after birth. Hence, every possibility should be thoroughly and carefully discussed with the family. At birth, the patient should be given respiratory and renal support. Ventilation and chest drain should be provided. Peritoneal dialysis might be required too.<br />
<br />
The infant is placed in the neonatal intensive care unit for close monitoring. There might be some cardiovascular defects and so the necessary intervention and management should be given to the patient. For long-term care, the focus is on the treatment of kidney disease.<br />
<br />
Should the patient survive the crucial stage, his growth and development will be closely monitored. If unfortunately, the condition progresses to end-stage renal failure, the patient should undergo a dialysis or a kidney transplant. <sup><b>(5, 6, and 7)</b></sup><br />
<br />
<h3>
Prognosis</h3>
Patient with bilateral renal agenesis (BRA) has a low potter's syndrome survival rate. Some patients die during the neonatal stage secondary to renal failure and pulmonary hypoplasia. Majority of the patient requires mechanical ventilation right after birth.<br />
<br />
Those who survived will have chronic kidney disease and most of them lead to end-stage renal disease. There is a possibility of impaired growth and developmental delay. <sup><b>(2, 4, and 5)</b></sup><br />

What is a rose rosette disease?</h3>
It is a disease caused by a spider
mite Phyllocoptes fructiphilus. A mite carrying the disease drifts on
the wind and lands into your garden. It will land on your roses and
injects disease into the rose. The other term for rose rosette disease
is witches'-broom in roses. The one responsible for causing disease is
Emaravirus sp. The primary host is multiflora rose, a nonanxious weed
abundant in the United States. <b><sup>(1, 2, and 3)</sup></b><br />

<h3>
Rose rosette disease symptoms</h3>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Red pigmentation on the underside of leaf veins.</li>
<li>Increased growth of the vegetative shoots.</li>
<li>The leaves of the infected rose are deformed, brittle, and crinkled. </li>
<li>The leaves are abnormally small, the petioles are short, and the lateral buds grow enormously causing red shoots. <b><sup>(2, 3, and 4)</sup></b></li>
</ul>
<!-- adsense -->
<h3>
Can rose rosette spread to other plants?</h3>
</div>
<div>
The virus causing rose rosette disease is host specific. Only roses are susceptible to such kind of disease. It will not spread to other types of plants. However, most rose species and cultivar are susceptible. <b><sup>(5)</sup></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Rose rosette disease treatment</h3>
<div>
Unfortunately, there is no rose rosette disease cure. What you can do though is to get rid of the diseased plants.<br />
<br />
The virus causing rose rosette disease is systemic, which means that it cannot be pruned out of the plants. The infected plant should be immediately removed from the site. Make sure that the infected rose is bagged where it stands before removal. <b><sup>(4, 5, and 6)</sup></b></div>
<h3>
</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Rose rosette disease control and prevention</h3>
<div>
<ul>
<li>When buying a rose, you have to make sure you are going to purchase a disease-free plant material. Stay away from roses that have symptoms of rose rosette disease.</li>
<li>When planting roses, make sure you leave enough space for the plants to grow so that the stems will not overlap with the neighboring plants.</li>
<li>If you notice wild multiflora roses, you need to remove them right away.</li>
<li>Pesticides and miticides are usually not effective in destroying mites responsible for rose rosette disease. </li>
<li>Observe good cultural practices to significantly reduce the possibility of rose rosette disease.</li>
<li>Avoid planting cultivated rose on hilltops or downwind as doing so can make your plants susceptible to mites invasion. </li>
<li>You should observe proper spacing in between plants as the mite causing rose rosette disease is wingless. It crawls from one plant to another. </li>
<li>Infected plants should be removed as soon as possible. Uprooted diseased plants should be removed right away so that the healthy plants will not catch the disease. Leaves and debris of the infected plant should be removed as well as they might still have mites that could infect other healthy plants. <b><sup>(4, 5, 6, and 7)</sup></b></li>
</ul>

What does a lupus rash look like?</h3>
The cardinal sign of lupus is a rash on the cheeks and the nose that resembles a butterfly shape. Other parts of the body are affected too such as the neck and arms. There will be flaky red spots and purple rashes. Some have mouth sores. It is called a butterfly rash because it is a butterfly-like shape.
