Concept explainers

Reproductive system infection

The biological process through which parents produce new children is called reproduction. A reproductive system is a group of internal and external organs that collaborate to allow males and females to reproduce. Many experts believe that the reproductive system is one of the most important systems in the body due to its crucial function in the survival of the species. Among the body's basic systems, the reproductive tract is the one that differs the most between sexes, and it is also the only one that does not operate until puberty.

Mention microbial infections and most people think of hospitals, not summer camp. But being outdoors in the sunshine and fresh air is not without risk. In June 2012, a camp counselor in Omaha, Nebraska, was diagnosed with histoplasmosis, a fungal infection with symptoms similar to pneumonia: fever, headache, and respiratory distress. Although most people suffering from histoplasmosis will recover without medical treatment, the very young, very old, and people with chronic lung conditions are at greater risk for developing severe disease, which may on rare occasions prove fatal. In areas of the eastern and central United States, where Histoplasma capsulatum is endemic, dirt contaminated with bird and bat guano often contains spores of the fungus. Disturbing such contaminated dirt is a known risk factor for developing the disease. Because the sick camp counselor was one of 32 that worked at the camp, and the camp served 797 children, the Douglas County Department of Health (DCDH) and the…

A 9 year old boy with cystic fibrosis – a genetic disease that causes a number of problems, including the build-up of thick sticky mucus in the lungs- complained of increasing fatigue, shortness of breath and worsening cough. When his mother took him to the doctor, she mentioned that his cough was a blue green color. His doctor immediately suspected a lung infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa a common complication of cystic fibrosis. A sputum was collected and sent to the clinical laboratory. In the Clinical laboratory, the sample was plated onto Mac Conkey agar and blood gar and incubated. Mucoid colonies surrounded by bluish green color grew on both types of agar media. The colonies on Mac Conkey had no pink coloration, so the medical technologist concluded that the cells did not ferment lactose. She noted that the blue green color on the agar plates and in the sputum, knowing that P.aeruginosa makes several pigmented compounds that give rise to colors ranging from yellow to blue. One…
