A 13-year-old girl with chronic myelogenous leukemia presented with respiratory distress 30 days after hematopoietic cell transplantation. There was an onset of breathlessness after 5-day history of hemoptysis and fever. Respiratory system showed bronchial breath sounds in right supraclavicular areas. Laboratory investigation showed mild elevation of AST/ ALT levels. Other blood parameters were normal. Initial work- up for fever, including malaria, dengue, scrub typhus, and leptospirosis tests, were negative. Hepatitis B surface antigen and HIV were also negative. Sputum samples for acid-fast bacilli were reported as negative. On the sixth day of admission, the patient’s sputum culture was reported positive for specific fungi. The green granulated colony of the cultured specimen revealed microscopically the presence of septate hyphae and small conidia. Questions: What is this patient’s most likely diagnosis? What are this patient’s most striking clinical and laboratory findings?…

CASE ANALYSIS A 30-year-old male rushed to ER presenting an undocumented intermittent fever, headache +dizziness for the last 2 days, with signs of dehydration and epistaxis. Initial assessment revealedoxygen saturation of 86% [95-100%]. Laboratory workup shows positive for Dengue IgM/IgG, and aplatelet count of 15.0 mm3 (150,000 - 450,000 mm3). Consequently, the physician ordered a bloodtransfusion for the patient and managed the patient’s hydration status. 1.) Dehydration due to plasma leakage is brought by which of the following mechanisms? A.) Increase in fibrinogenB.) Alteration of blood vessel integrityC.) Decrease in albuminD.) Increase in hydrostatic pressure
