#7. Onset Bacterial infection 1-month rule
Acid-fast bacilli (TB, non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection)
Chlamydia, infective endocarditis
Abscess
Viral infection 2 week rule

HIV, HBV, HCV
#8. Infection Microorganism (bacterial infection) = symptoms
ROS Review of systems
Pneumonia = cough, chest pain
Cystitis = painful urination, dysuria, cloudy urine
Enteritis = diarrhea, abdominal pain
Meningitis = headache
#9. Infection Bacteria vs Viruses Pneumococcal pneumonia vs influenza
Streptococcus pyogenes vs influenza
Bacterial infection are more focal
⇒Infective endocarditis being an exception
#10. Case 1: 25-year-old female Diagnosis: bacterial pneumonia, bacterial sinusitis
