- Bartonella Infection / Cat Scratch Disease: I'm all for using the more scientific term for this disease-
- TB / Scrofula in the neck: a TB lymph node infection in the neck, and affects immunocompromised children.. with antibiotics it has a near 100% remission rate, but presumably our dystopian futuristic setting will have super-bacteria immune to these?
- Bubonic Plague!
- Toxoplasmosis: A parasitic disease with a pretty antagonistic/villainous name
- Tularemia: this is a parasite that causes swollen lymph nodes, among some other unpleasant symptoms, but infects macrophages (which may be another level of complexity we don't want to address yet?)
A book chapter that briefly talks about agents / the differential diagnosis of Lymphadenopathy (on page 219).
so I'm thinking we could maybe put these to a vote at our next mini-group meeting? or I could just design all of them... XD
ReplyDeletehrm.. let's go for quality over quantity and put it to a vote???
ReplyDeleteThough if you want to model them all... (then you can re-render them in gradient mesh for kicks)
