QUESTION 25 A college student, Matt, comes to the Emergency Department has a very low blood pressure (64/49), rapid heart and respiratory rates, and a fever. Despite many drugs and intravenous infusions, it is impossible to get his blood pressure up and eventually Matt has multi-organ failure and dies. Blood cultures grow Neisseria meningitidis. What is the best description of Matt's illness? O Group A Strep sequelae O meningococcal sepsis O Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia QUESTION 26 Matt from the previous question had had his spleen removed many years ago. The spleen is a major antibody-producing organ. Why was Matt exceptionally susceptible to a bloodstream infection by Neisseria meningitidis? O The spleen normally traps and holds N. meningitidis until cytotoxic T cells can kill it. O There is actually no connection between the lack of a spleen and susceptibility to blood-borne infections. ON. meningitidis has an anti-phagocytic capsule. Matt did not have opsonizing antibodies to help phagocytes attach to the pathogen. Click Save and Submit to save and submit.
