Leslie was suffering from disease babesiosis which is caused by Babesiamicroti. Leslie was attacked by a small deer tick. The tick was small and the bite was painless. She was unaware of the attack. The tick transmits the protozoan inside her, the protozoon begin to destroying her red blood cells. This makes her weak and she is then suffering from jaundice, fever, anemia and fatigue.

- Gram positive case on the first day back to class at the local university, a student noticed a small abscess on his right elbow but didn't think much about it. Over the next couple days, however the abscess became more swollen and painful. The student decided to visit the health centet he told the doctor it looked like a spider bite but didn't recall being bitten. The doctor took a swab of the lesion and prescribed an antibiotic cream as it looked infected. The swab was sent to the lab for testing within a few days of treatment, the student lesion was healed.

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_forwardBacillus thuringiensis: production of endotoxin and mechanism of actionarrow_forward
