P. Vivax Strikes Again Summary

An investigation was necessary to find the cause of the outbreak, and how to stop it from continuing to spread. The campus clinic was interested in testing the following nine patients: Sue, Jill, Anthony, Wanda, Maggie, Maria, Arnie, Marco, and Alvin. All of the students have similar symptoms and agreed to being tested except for Alvin.

The most likely causative agent that infected the patient is the Francisella tularensis bacteria. This gram-negative, facultative intracellular pathogen is the causes agent of the Tularemia, which lead to the type of disease that is manifested in the patient is called Tularemia disease.

Her infection began when she was bitten by a mosquito which was seeking her protein-rich blood to nourish its eggs. As part of the process of sucking the droplet of blood from the girl, the mosquito, simultaneously injected saliva to ease the flow of blood into its proboscis. Malaria-causing pathogens gathered in the mosquito’s salivary glands and traveled into the girl’s body. Once in the body, the wormlike parasites moved to the girl’s liver to embed themselves allowing them to feed and multiply. By the time a week had passed, each parasite had consumed an entire liver cell and had replicated upwards of 40,000 times. A short time later the infected cells had exploded and the parasites had reentered her bloodstream. Now showing symptoms

Abnormal result: the patient usually want to know, how they get this infection or can become serious disease

The patient in questioned presented with symptoms of painful urination for the past 2 weeks accompanied by lower back pain and fever. The fever didn’t appear until two days ago. The patient, 17 years of age and female stated that she wasn’t sexually active until 2 months ago. The patient file documented that a blood sample was taken and that the patient had an unknown bacterium. Listed below are the tests ran in order to determine the unknown bacterium.

The patient is on a gluten free diet due to Celiac disease. She is takes a daily vitamin, melatonin and a calcium supplement. She is also on birth control. The patient has a history of recurrent ear infections. The patient was last hospitalized at the age of eight after falling off her bike and passing out. She fractured her ankle as a child. There is a family history of Celiac disease and Parkinson’s disease. She participates in physical exercise by going to swim practice five times a week. The patient does not use tobacco. The patient dislocated her finger and complained of pain at a 3 out 10. There are no concerning moles. Patient’s buccal mucosa is a normal pink color and moist, no signs of lesions in mouth or on tongue. Her uvula is

The authors begin by introducing Minax, who uses professional equipment to tattoo from home although he is not certified. Minax hones his skills by practicing on friends who, like many others, are not willing to pay full price for professional tattoos. According to him, scratching is becoming more popular as tattoo equipment become more readily available online. The authors continue by interviewing several professional artists who discuss the importance of proper training and apprenticeship regarding sanitation and blood-borne pathogens certification, with heavy emphasis on state regulations. There are specific guidelines for becoming a tattoo artist, opening a tattoo parlor, and illegally providing any tattoos outside of the shop, with the

After experiencing several pathology observations in the US after my graduation from medical school, I must state that my passion for pathology has become more enhanced than ever, as I have noticed the care and precision that is guaranteed to provide an exact and exact diagnosis. This experience has also enhanced my pathology skills and abilities for accurately examining slides and collaborating with other professionals. In short, since arriving in the US and initially working in the pathology department with Dr. Jianyu Rao, M.D. at UCLA, I have garnered a tremendous wealth of experience regarding the reading and observation of gross specimens. The training I have received while in the US, since the latter part of 2012, has proven to be invaluable and has definitely enhanced my skills, confidence and last, but not least, a deeper compassion and commitment to my patients. I enjoy challenges and learning from other more experienced colleagues, and I find the medical professionals in the US to be the very best in their professional knowledge and medical ethics, and I truly want to emulate my senior mentors in

Malaria is a vector borne infectious disease which contains 5 subspecies, of which Plasmodium ovale is the most likely culprit in this case study. The species of malaria can be distinguished between by thin blood films and analysing haematological abnormalities present, such as in plasmodium falciparum infection no change occurs to erythrocyte shape and size whereas in P. ovale infection erythrocytes are usually slightly enlarged, frequently an oval shape and often have fimbriated edges (Moore, Knight and Blann, 2016).

Malaria claims more lives than any other communicable disease except tuberculosis. Over 200 million cases worldwide are reported each year. According to the World Health Organization Research, Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by the parasite plasmodium (WHO, 2011). It is a life-threatening disease transmitted through the bite of an infected Anopheles mosquito. Unfortunately, an estimated death toll of 1 million African children is reported. Thus this paper will aim to further define this condition while describing clinical manifestations and preventive

The test limitations of microscopy include the quality of the smear, a low number of parasites, artifacts that resemble parasites and slide quality diminishes with time (Ohrt, Purnomo, Sutamihardja, Tang, & Kain, 2002, p.540). Test limitation for the Qiagen artus® Real Art PCR include possible contaminations or inhibition of PCR as well as the requirement for quality control reagents make it more expensive and difficult for rural areas to maintain also having the proper equipment (Tangpukdee, Duangdee, Wilairatana, & Krudsood, 2009, p.97). In conclusion, the microscopy method requires less reagents and equipment however, the quality of the slides can vary in addition to clarity of artifact versus

An outbreak has occurred on campus, about nine college students were seen in the informatory on campus. They all had similar symptoms such as: headache, extremely tired, fever and some experienced dry itchy or sore throats, and some felt like there body was sore or tight. So we took some bodily samples from the patients and tried to identify the bacteria or virus. We identified the bacteria/virus by using the blast website. Then we ran an ELISA test on eight of the nine patients. Of the eight only Jill, Maria, Marco and Sue tested positive for meningitis. Sue and Jill are roommates, and Maria lives on the same floor and often visits Sue and Jill. Marco is Sue’s Bio partner. They all tested positive for meningitis. We believe Sue was the first one to be infected with meningitis and the spread it to her roommate Jill, Maria who lives on the same floor and often visits the girl, and Marco who is Sue’s lab

Study into this field is crucial for human and animal populations around the world. The importance of studying this organism includes, but is not limited to: developing a technique of how to combat active infections, understanding how the organism penetrates a host’s defenses, and to develop practices that will prevent repetitive infections.
