  Chronic Synovitis in Lyme Disease (WebPathology)
  Definition: Lyme disease is a multisystems infectious disorder caused by the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. Infection occurs by ticks feeding on mammalian hosts, including humans. The distribution of the tick and spirochete is world-wide and is especially prevalent where there are large deer populations.
  Stages
  The disease is seen in three stages:

• viral gastritis
  10 November 2005

  Although many common enteroviruses are believed to infect the gastric mucosa, so few patients with acute gastroenteritis undergo gastric biopsy that no information is available on the morphologic features of these infections.
  CMV gastritis
  The only viral infections of the stomach with a distinct pathologic appearance are those caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV); CMV-associated gastritis is seen almost exclusively in children and immunocompromised patients.
  Usually it is associated with (...)

• Mycobacterium lentiflavum infection
  1 February 2011

  Definition: Mycobacterium lentiflavum is a recently described nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) that has mainly clinical importance in young children with cervical lymphadenitis and in immunocompromised patients.
  A case of chronic pulmonary infection has been described in an immunocompetent patient.
  Mycobacterium lentiflavum was described as a nontuberculous mycobacterium in 1966.
  Most of the isolates represented fortuitous isolations, although recently its identification has posed (...)

• cryptosporidiosis
  15 April 2005

  WKP
  Definition: Cryptosporidiosis is a parasitic disease caused by Cryptosporidium, a genus of protozoan parasites in the phylum Apicomplexa.
  It affects the distal small intestine and can affect the respiratory tract in both immunocompetent (i.e., individuals with a normal functioning immune system) and immunocompromised (e.g., persons with HIV/AIDS or autoimmune disorders) individuals, resulting in watery diarrhea with or without an unexplained cough.
  In immunocompromised individuals, (...)
