Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The action of set of proteins over the cellular membranes of the pathogens is called the complement system. These proteins act as the chemotactic attractants that trigger the fever and inflammation in the infected body. The foreign cells are destructed through the formation of membrane attack complexes (MAC). This causes multiple and fatal holes in the pathogens membrane.

As a whole, the family has had no previous significant medical history, yet interfaces with their primary care physician and medical specialists throughout their lifespan for various conditions. While laboratory analysis often involved the collection of routine blood and urine specimens, the cases in this chapter will highlight times when they needed other body fluids collected for diagnostic purposes. 1) Besides blood and urine, what are other body fluids that can be collected for diagnostic purposes? 2) Do you believe that there are body fluids that are only clinically relevant at certain time points in life? Or, instead, are the diagnostic utility of these fluids equal across the lifespan?arrow_forward8.
