Clinical History:This 29-year-old male's illness began 10 weeks prior to death, with an episode of "flu". Two weeks later his urine became "smoky". He was found to have hematuria, albuminuria and elevated BUN (180 mg/dl). He died from a pulmonary embolus. Photos include throat photo, blood agar, and grain stain.
What specimens should be taken, aside from blood?
What tests should be run? Include both a rapid test option and a lower cost test option.
What signs and symptoms should have alerted the patient to come in for testing during or after his viral flu episode?
What was the most likely cause to the embolus?

- Case Study . A journalist returning from a trip experienced severe fever, vomiting, chills, and muscle aches, followed by symptoms of meningitis and kidney failure. Early tests were negative for septicemia; throat cultures were negative; and penicillin was an effective treatment. Doctors believed the patient’s work in the jungles of South America was a possible clue to his disease. What do you think might have been the cause?arrow_forwardA 13-year-old male, who recently immigrated with his parents from Romania, presents with a 2 day history of fever, sore throat and difficulty breathing. Immunization records are unavailable. On physical exam, temperature is 102°F (38.9°C). A grayish white membrane is seen in the oropharynx. There is enlargement of the cervical lymph nodes, resulting in a bull neck. QUESTIONS: What pathogen caused the disease? What is the morphology and staining characteristics of the pathogen? What is its most important virulence factor? Discuss: Criteria for toxin production (lysogeny, iron…) Properties of the toxin Mode of action How does the pathogen spread? What risk factors are associated with the infection? What are the clinical symptoms of the disease? What are the possible complications from the disease? How is the disease diagnosed? Discuss: Specimen selection Microscopic observation Culture Virulence test What is the best treatment for the disease? How can the disease be prevented?…arrow_forward6.Statement 1: Dendritic cells are phagocytes with professional antigen-presenting properties. Statement 2: Neutrophils circulate as part of the blood and act as surveillance to detect presence of pathogens. Note: This is a multiple question, choose the correct answer below: Statement 1 is true. Statement 2 is false. Statement 2 is true. Statement 1 is false. Both statements are true.

- 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 pressurearrow_forwardAfter further conversation, your friend tells you that he stopped taking his initial antibiotics after two days because he “felt 100% better". Please explain how this action might have played a role in the redevelopment of his infection. Minimum of 500 wordsarrow_forwardPathogenesis for chlamydia This paragraph described the disease caused by infection with this pathogen. Answer briefly: What type of infection does this pathogen establish? (acute, chronic, latent, etc.) What are some of the distinguishing symptoms of the infection? Are there known complications from this infectious disease? What is the usual or expected recovery time? What is the outcome of this infectious disease? (full recovery, chronic issues, fatal, etc.) Does the person develop a protective immunity to re-infection with this pathogen?arrow_forward
- A 35-year-old African American woman complains of shortness of breath and cough for the last 2 months. She also has had fatigue and mild subjective fever. Physical examination reveals several discrete subcutaneous nodules. No masses or organomegaly is found. A chest radiograph shows bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy but no lung or mediastinal masses. A biopsy of one of the skin nodules shows noncaseating granuloma. What are the diagnostic considerations? What serum blood test can help confirm the diagnosis?arrow_forwardKindly answer the case study below:Diagnosis: Acute Pharyngitis Case Study:A 9-year-old boy complained of fever and sore throat over a 3-day period. On examination by his physician, the patient’s pharynx was red, and both tonsils were swollen. Pronounced cervical lymphadenopathy was present. A swab of the tonsillar area was taken and inoculated to a sheep blood agar (SBA) plate. After 24 hours of incubation, small, shiny, translucent colonies showing β- hemolysis were noted. The microscopy shows a Gram positive coccus arranged in pairs.Case study presentation should include the following:1. Case2. Patient initials (Ex. 50-year-old man)3. History of the present illness (Symptoms and may include the physical exam of the patient)4. Chief Complaints (Ex. Morning stiffness in his joints for over a year)5. Diagnosis and Causative agent6. Pathophysiology7. Treatment and Management8. Referencesarrow_forwardA patient 19 year-old came to hospital and she had sore throat, fever, red tonsils and swollen uvula, and neck lymphadenopathy. She was given initially antibiotics and came after 5 days with tired, 39ºC. She had patches of white exudate on the tonsils, lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly. Hematological examination shows atypical lymphocytosis. Why do you think did she have these symptoms? Answer: these symptoms are for ………………………. and caused by …………………………… What are other tests and samples need to confirm the causative agent which cause these symptoms?arrow_forward

Hematological examination shows atypical lymphocytosis. ( please answer the two parts 1 and 2) 1. Why do you think did she have these symptoms? Answer: these symptoms are for ………………………. and caused by …………………………… 2. What are other tests and samples need to confirm the causative agent which cause these symptoms?arrow_forwardRare forms of lymphoma include Question 7 options: A) Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma B) Burkitt's lymphoma and mycosis fungoides C) Hodgkin, non-Hodgkin and Burkitt's lymphoma D) Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and mycosis fungoidesarrow_forward
