Abstract:
Mondor's disease is a rare pathology which is characterized from a superficial thrombophlebitis more frequently of a vein on the anterolateral thoraco-abdominal wall. The world literature reported about 500 cases which have been compared to 22 cases which represent our personal case-report. The most frequent etiological causes are represented by post-traumatic and infective events. The most important symptom is pain. The prognosis of the singol phlebitis focus is always favourable.

Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.

01:26Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) is a severe tick-borne illness caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, a Gram-negative, coccobacillary bacterium. This pathogen is an obligate intracellular parasite, requiring a host cell for replication. Transmission occurs through the bite of an infected tick. In the United States, the most important vectors are Dermacentor variabilis (American dog tick) and Dermacentor andersoni (Rocky Mountain wood tick), though other tick species may also serve as vectors.
