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?
write out a detailed summary on Salmonella. Questions below will help you frame your summary.
Please describe the bacterium. What is its shape and size? Is it Gram-positive or negative? Pictures are always fun! If you can find a microscopic image – include it.
What is/are the reservoir(s)? e.g. water, food, human, etc.
Are there parameters needed for infection? (Temperature, pH)
What is/are the mode(s) of transmission. If it's foodborne - is it linked to a specific food?
How many cases occur each year? In the US and/or worldwide and/or in the County where you live
Has it caused any outbreaks or epidemics?
Thank you-
Microbiology-Distinguish a primary from a secondary immune response (please include latent period and production of specific antibodies)
Thank you!

She developed malaise, fever and chills after visiting with her grandchildren. Her infection progressed. She developed dyspnea and expired. Sputum sample, gram stain. Photo includes sputum sample and gram stain. Does the visit with the grandchildren contribute to condition or no? What could have been a likely cause of the infection? What biosafety level is the causative agent? What type of cleaning agent would be effective against the causative agent?
