Babesiosis is a tick-borne illness caused by the parasitic protozoa of the genus Babesia, which can be transmitted to humans via a bite by a tick of the genus Ixodes (Deer Tick). Infection with Babesia protozoa leads to protozoal invasion of erythrocytes (Red Blood Cells), which can become destroyed by the parasites or become removed by the patient’s spleen. Signs and symptoms of Babesiosis can be vague and non-specific, making diagnosing the condition difficult. However, having a suspicion of this condition, especially in patients who have camped in endemic areas, is going to be important in patients with unexplained fever (or Fever of Unknown Origin).

Keratoacanthoma is a dermatological condition that causes much confusion among clinicians, for some believe that it is a benign condition, although some research suggests that it is a subtype of squamous cell carcinoma, which is a type of skin cancer. Recent consensus indicates a relationship with squamous cell carcinoma, with pathological designations indicating it as squamous cell carcinoma keratoacanthoma subtype (SCC-KA). In this lesson, we discuss the potential causes of Keratoacanthoma, factors that increase risk of getting it, the stages and clinical features of Keratoacanthoma, how it’s diagnosed and how it’s treated.
