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. Acute inflammation is better than chronic inflammation
2. The major inflammatory cells in the body are white blood cells
TRUE OR FALSE
1. Inflammation is only caused by exogenous substances/organisms
2. Medical laboratory scientists test the presence of active inflammation

How does the concept of immunological memory contribute to the effectiveness of vaccination and long-term immunity? Provide examples to illustrate your answer. 2. Explain how the immune system can recognize and target cancer cells. How does this recognition relate to the concept of "self" and "non-self"? 3. How does the immune system recognize and respond to transplanted organs? What strategies can be employed to prevent organ rejection in transplantation?arrow_forwardQuestion 1 Nursing. 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
- Single choice 3) Which of the following statements is false regarding polysaccharide and conjugated vaccines? O Polysaccharide vaccines stimulate B cell or humoral responses only, reserving their use for patients over 2 years of age. O Conjugated vaccines can be used in children as young as 2 months of age because they stimulate both B cell and T helper cell immune responses O Conjugated vaccines link a polysaccharide to a protein that stimulates a wider immune response. O Polysaccharide vaccines use carbohydrates found in the external capsule of the bacteria as antigens O The conjugate protein used, such as diphtheria, can also provide adequate protection against itself in addition to the polysaccharide.arrow_forwardImmunology This 29 year old Lab Tech is suffering from fever, persistent fatigue, and joint pain. He reported that a needle in a plastic garbage bag nicked his finger about 2 months ago. His physical examination was within normal limits. His laboratory data, however, revealed elevated liver serum enzyme levels and total bilirubin levels. Additional laboratory data included positive HBsAg and positive IgM anti-HBc. His IgM anti-HAV and anti-HCV tests were negative. 1. Does this patient have a form of infectious hepatitis? If so, what type? 2. Can any further tests be done to confirm the diagnosis? 3.
