Swiss cheese disease of the breast: Macroscopic appearance of microscopic slides offers a diagnostic clue

摘要

Coxsackie viruses, which causes the worst kinds of sniffles (is named after) a town in upstate New York, and Junin virus, causing a hemorrhagic fever, is linked to a town near Buenos Aires. At a time when General Motors advertisements were calling for customers to get "Pontiac fever," a bacterial infection spread in Pontiac, Michigan, and immediately became known as Pontiac fever. Lyme arthritis is named after the town in Connecticut where the flu-like symptoms were first observed. Lyme is nowhere near the Rocky Mountains, where spotted fever was supposedly confined; in fact, more cases of Rocky Mountain spotted fever occur in the East. Swiss cheese is a distinct variety of yellow and medium-hard cheese. During production, bacteria release carbon dioxide, which results in the formation of distinctive holes ("eyes"). A typical slice of Swiss cheese is riddled with "eyes" of variable sizes.
