Polycythemia is an increased number of red blood cells in the blood. In polycythemia, the levels of hemoglobin (Hgb), hematocrit (Hct), or the red blood cell (RBC) count may be elevated when measured in the complete blood count (CBC), as compared to normal. Hemoglobin levels greater than 16.5 g/dL (grams per deciliter) in women and greater than 18.5 g/dL in men suggest polycythemia.
It usually takes about three to six weeks for the inflammation linked to plantar fasciitis to go down, but having a tear in the plantar fascia ligament or a growth in the foot may take anywhere from two to five months in recovery time.
Primary syphilis usually breaks out about 3 weeks after exposure but can range from 9 to 30 days after exposure. The chancre will last from 3 to 6 weeks and then will disappear with or without treatment. The infection will persist even when the ulcer leaves, unless antibiotics are used. The rash of secondary syphilis occurs 2 to 10 weeks after the chancre appears, often after the chancre is completely gone.
