Virtual Lab Case Studies: Blood and Immunity Directions : Review the case studies and respond to the question(s) posed in each study. Each case study response should be 3-5 well-developed sentences in length. Use proper spelling, grammar, and mechanics. Include correct APA citations and references, if necessary. Case Study # 1: Heart Angela’s physician suspects that Angela has just suffered a myocardial infarction, or heart attack. She tells Angela that she is going to take a blood sample so that the hospital lab can perform a test to confirm her diagnosis. What information can Angela’s blood yield to help the physician? Student Answer: Information that Angela's blood can provide includes levels of enzymes such as troponin and creatine kinase, which, if elevated, indicate myocardial damage, supporting the diagnosis of a myocardial infarction (heart attack). Case Study #2: Immunity Many years ago, there was a famous case of a boy born with severe combined immune deficiency (SCID). His physicians placed him in a pathogen-free chamber that resembled a giant glass bubble. What purpose was served by doing this? What treatments are available today that might have helped this boy? Student Answer: Placing the child in a pathogen-free chamber helped protect her from exposure to harmful pathogens, as her immune system was severely compromised due to SCID. This isolation was crucial to prevent infections that could endanger her life.
