There are several important hallmarks of this pattern. First, the pattern must form during a clear uptrend. Second,the first candle must be a large bullish candlestick (white or green) that continues an uptrend. This candle must be be followed by a bearish candlestick (black or red) that gaps up and has a small real body.

I have a query about one of the details in the book. You mention that perihepatitis is a feature of gonorrhoeal infection, but other books say that perihepatitis (Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome) is a complication of chlamydial infections. Is there a possibility of perihepatitis in gonorrhoea? Thank you.

Question 40

In the 7th edition of Kumar and Clark Clinical Medicine, you indicate that there is no benefit in treating the male partner of a woman diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis (BV).
