This extremely contagious disease is often transmitted to over 90% unprotected close contacts of the infected person. it is found only in humans and 5-7 days after exposure, patient develops high fecer and cold-like symotoms with a typpical rash appearing another 3-4 days after that. Severe forms of the disease are rare and are usually found in children under 5, people with malnutrition or whoo are immunocompromised. This disease is a) is caused by S. aureus b) now totally eradicated now due to vaccine c) prevented by the MMR vaccine d) is known as German measles

One summer, a group of tourists became ill after they all stayed at the same hotel in Greece. Epidemiologists conducted surveys among all the people who had stayed at that hotel during the two-and-a-half-week period in which people were reporting their illnesses. They did this in an attempt to determine the cause of the symptoms, which were primarily diarrhea and nausea. They surveyed 239 people; 224 of them reported having been ill while they were still on vacation or shortly after their return. Their diarrheal symptoms lasted 10-15 days. Seventy of the 224 people who reported illness were classified as having definite cases of gastrointestinal disease. A case was called “definite” when a pathogen could actually be recovered from their stool. Of these, the vast majority tested positive for one particular microorganism. Microscopic analysis of the stool samples revealed the presence of small oval-shaped structures, with defined outer walls and two to four nuclei inside. Diagnostic…
1. Patient X was brought to the emergency room by his mother because he was gushing blood from his mouth after a fall that occurred about 6 hours prior. His mother started that he bled for lengthly periods of time from his vaccine sites, but that he had never had any bruishing or hematomas. The patient was taking medicines for an ear infection he had recently. There was no known history of a bleeding disease in the family. Which from the following is helpful for the diagnosis? a.VWF: Factor VIII binding assay b. Collagen binding assay c. VWF: RCoF assay d. Low dose ristocetin induced platelet agglutination (RIPA) 2. Most patient with hemophilia are male however in uncommon causes, female also can have hemophilia. a.True b. False

This is a case study for Immunology & Serology with (4) questions for studying purposes. A 35-year-old man recently received a kidney transplant. He had been feeling well until 2 weeks before, when he experienced a sore throat, fever, chills, profound malaise, and myalgia. Splenomegaly and lymphadenopathy were observed. His medications included cyclosporine. 1. Could this patient be suffering from an infectious disease?2. Why would this patient be susceptible to an opportunistic infection?3. How could an infection of this type be potentially eliminated?4. Are health care workers at risk for infections of this type?
A 65-year-old woman has a long-term central venous catheter for intravenous therapy. She develops fever and subsequently has multiple blood cultures positive for Staphylococcus epidermidis. All of the S. epidermidis isolates have the same colony morphology and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern, suggesting that they are the same strain. In what possible way do you think she has contracted the bacteria? Which link in the chain of infection has broken in this particular scenario and what will be your advice to avoid such infections?
In 1969, a 16-year-old boy named Robert Rayford was admitted to a hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. He was weak, emaciated, rife with stubborn infections, and riddled with rare cancerous lesions known as Kaposi’s sarcoma, a skin disease found in elderly men of Mediterranean descent. Three months after he was admitted, he died of pneumonia. More than ten years later, similar cases were seen in states like New York and California. It was eventually discovered that young Robert Rayford actually had AIDS. Using 2-3 pieces of evidence from the text, explain why Robert Rayford ended up dying from pneumonia.
