- The majority of cases were glandular or ulceroglandular, with a significant proportion experiencing systemic disease and hospitalization; diagnosis relied heavily on serology and RT-PCR testing.
- While most patients recovered, a notable percentage faced relapses despite receiving antibiotics, highlighting the complexity and seriousness of the disease.
