    Circulatory and Lymphatic System

    Case Study 3

    Larry has just returned from a camping trip. As much as he likes the company of his
    pals and the commune with nature, he is glad to return home, especially since he is not
    feeling well. The day after his return, he starts running a high fever and develops a
    headache, along with muscle aches and pains. After about three days, his symptoms
    subside and he thinks he has dodged a bullet. It could not have been the flu with such a
    quick resolution. However, after about a week, his symptoms return and subside after
    about three days again. This occurs for about 4 weeks before he makes an appointment
    with his primary care physician. He is given a prescription for tetracycline and his
    symptoms disappear once and for all.
