! Prednisonecommon anti-inflam/corcicosteroid can be too potent w/doses greater than 10mg/day (2 pills)
! HIV
Initially there is macrophage infection and dissemination to dendritic cells of the lymph via blood
CD4 cells infected when they migrates thru the germinal centers of lymph nodes and contact follicular
dendritic cells
Several weeks post infection, get Mono-type syndrome then HIV-VSHFLILF&7/VDQGDQWL-+,9DEV

Viremia declines and pt enters asymptomatic latent period and CD4 decreases over years
When CD4 drops below 200/mm3, anti-HIV-abs drop and viremia ensues and AIDS is present

Chest pain can be caused by a plethora of conditions ranging from cardiovascular, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, neurologic and traumatic
a mong many others. One common cause of chest pain is PLE URITIS which again has many etiological factors, both emergent and nonemergent.

x Pleural LDH is greater than 2/3rds of the upper limit of normal for plasma LDH
Occurs due to alteration of local factors that influence fluid movement across space
