Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Monocytes are the immune cells that come under the type “leukocytes”. They are the large agranulocytes that possess slightly lobed nuclei. They help in protecting the body against diseases and fight against infections. They are also involved in the phagocytosis process.

Immunology Case Study to study
A 34 week pregnant women called her obstetrician as she was worried after coming down with a fever and sore throat. The doctor ordered EBV testing and CMV antibody testing. EBV testing was negative, but the mother demonstrated a four fold increase in CMV IgG after a 14 day interval.1. What is the definitive testing to be done to confirm CMV infection in the mother?
2. What are the chances her newborn will be born with symptoms of congenital CMV?
3. Why are CMV screenings on all pregnant women not a part of routine prenatal care?
4. What antibody class (IgG or IgM) would point to CMV infection in newborn testing?
TRUE OR FALSE
1. Since a tattoo is a pigment considered as an intracellular accumulation, it is absolutely toxic
2. Even if the cell is intact, there can be an irreversible cell injury if the nucleus is affected
3. There is excessive accumulation of substances in a tissue if you will not only be able to observe them intracellularly but also extracellularly

Innate lymphoid cells reside primarily in tissues such as the lungs, the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, and the skin, because these sites represent the major routes of entry of pathogens into the body. Several different subsets of innate lymphoid cells exist, and each is specialized to respond to a category of pathogen (e.g., viruses, extracellular bacteria, helminthic parasites, etc). a) True b) Falsearrow_forwardTrue or False 1. In phagocytosis, the digestion of phagocytes is always complete 2. The second line of defense is a specific immune response that responds against a specific type (species or strain) of pathogen. 3. Eosinophils can phagocytize and this is their usual mode of attack. 4. The body’s initial line of defense is made up of chemicals, and processes that work together to prevent pathogens from entering the body in the first place. 5. In general, beta and gamma interferons are present early in viral infections, whereas alpha interferon appears somewhat later in the course of infection. 6. The second line of defense is chiefly composed of external physical barriers to pathogens, especially the skin and mucous membranes. 7. The chemicals involved assist phagocytic cells either by directly attacking pathogens or by enhancing other features of specific resistance. 8. The combination of the barrier function of the dermis including its continual replacement and the presence of…arrow_forward

- Clinical Case Study Four generations of the DOE family live in the southeastern United States: 72 -year old grandmother Nancy, 44-year old father Chad, Chad's oldest daughter, Gina, 23 years old, and Gina's 18 month-old son Joseph. 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_forwardNovobiocin susceptibility: Zone of inhibition or no zone of inhibition present: ______________ Novobiocin Susceptible or resistant: ______________________arrow_forwardMultiple choice 2.

Laboratory studies show WBC count of 11,875/mm3 with 68% segmented neutrophils, 8% bands, 18% lymphocytes, and 6% monocytes. Gram negative rods were found. Photo includes gram stain. When reviewing the patient’s paperwork, what type of information would you look for, or perhaps ask patient if not listed on the paperwork? What type of specimen would you collect?
