Transcribed Image Text:Research-based Case Study
Jacqueline Butler is a 27 year-old woman who presented at your primary
care practice with tingling in her left hand that had been persistent for the
past week. She has also been experiencing increasing clumsiness and
weakness when using her left arm, as well as fatigue and trouble
concentrating. A surface examination of her extremities showed no
swelling, inflammation of joints, or noticeable cysts. Her body temperature
was normal, as was a complete blood count (CBC) including a blood
glucose test.
Subsequently, you order a lumbar puncture to rule out infection and an
MRI with contrast dye. The lumbar puncture shows elevated levels of IgG
antibodies and the MRI showed three small inflammatory lesions within
the brain. Based on these results, you diagnose Jacqueline with Multiple
Sclerosis (MS).
