The first morning low control result was 2.10 (x 10^12/L). In five subsequent runs, the low control results were 2.16, 2.19, 2.20, 2.22 and 2.25. 1. Do these values represent a shift, a trend, or neither? 2. Should Melinda be concerned about these values? Explain.  3. Does Melinda need to take any action?arrow_forwardThe lab performs a complete blood count with cell differential while the patient is still in the office.

- M.L. is a 26-year-old homosexual man admitted to the hospital for progressive respiratory distress, fever, weakness, and chronic diarrhea. He tested HIV positive about 3 years ago, but his infection has remained asymptomatic until 2 months prior to admission. Pneumocystis jiroveci (carinii) pneumonia was suspected and confirmed by culture. Laboratory analysis demonstrates a low CD4+ count of 185 cells/ml. HAART treatment with the antiretrovirals azidothymidine (AZT), efavirenz (Sustiva), and ritonavir (Norvir) was started 2 months ago.  QUESTIONS: A medical student asks you to draw a picture of the HIV virion and a CD4+ cell, and to explain the mechanism of intracellular infection and the role of reverse transcriptase. What would you show on the drawing and explain about the process?arrow_forwardM.L. is a 26-year-old homosexual man admitted to the hospital for progressive respiratory distress, fever, weakness, and chronic diarrhea.
