Clinical History:A 25-year-old woman had pelvic pain, fever, and vaginal discharge for 3 weeks. On physical examination, she has lower abdominal adnexal tenderness and a painful, swollen left knee. Laboratory studies show WBC count of 11,875/mm3 with 68% segmented neutrophils, 8% bands, 18% lymphocytes, and 6% monocytes. Gram negative rods were found. Photo includes gram stain.

During the visit, the nurse finds that he has a fever. The patient reports that he is attending his second year of college at a local university. The physician performs a physical examination, which confirms large, swollen, painful lymph nodes. He decides to send the patient to the office laboratory for blood work. He orders a complete blood count (CBC) and viral and bacterial studies. Question: 1. Based on the information obtained thus far, what does the laboratory analysis indicate? Explain your answer. 2. The patient's symptoms of fever and painful, swollen lymph nodes are caused by what innate immune mechanisms? Explain your answer 3. About 50% of patients with chronic viral infection develop splenomegaly. Based on what you know about the organs of the immune system, why would this condition develop?arrow_forwardThe patient complained of high fever with right upper abdominal pain and was admitted to the hospital. Physical examination showed tenderness in the liver area with hepatomegaly. Laboratory examination showed that the total number of leukocytes increased, neutrophils 88%, eosinophils 12% and C-reactive protein increased (indicated with infection). Abdominal CT showed space occupying lesions in the liver area and fuzzy structure in the lesions. The patient was born in Sichuan, China, a professional photographer and travelled all over the country. According to your knowledge of human parasitology, what kind of parasite may this patient be infected with? Please list up your diagnosis and explain the reasons. Please list the other two parasites that can cause organ space occupying lesions. Which parasitic diseases need to be identified from the perspective of parasitic pathogenicity? Please described the treatment principles in briefly.arrow_forward

The following treatment measures are incorrect for this patient: Remove pus and inactivated tissue The incision line should exceed the edge of the lesion The incision can be filled with yarn One-stage suture of the incision Make a "++" incisionarrow_forward
- Case 8: An 18-year-old male college student was on spring break in the Florida Keys. He presented to the E.R. complaining of remittent fever, chills, and headaches. A blood smear revealed ring-shaped cells in his blood cells. What disease does the young man have, and what organism is most likely responsible? How did he contract this disease?arrow_forwardFill in the blank: Rh antibodies form only in persons with _______________________ type blood in response to special stimulation.arrow_forwardA 50-year-old man presented to the physician complaining of headaches and difficulty maintaining his balance. On physical exam the physician noticed a lump in the man’s left calf. Initial lab results including a complete blood count and differential were normal. The ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) was slightly elevated, indicating generalized inflammation. The physician asked the man if he had traveled to any areas outside of the United States in the past 12 months. The man had recently returned from volunteering in Haiti. The physician prescribed niclosamide and had the patient collect three stool samples over the next 12 days. Following treatment the following parasite was recovered from the man’s stool with armed rostellum. 18 lateral branches were seen in its proglottids. Explain the morphologic characteristics that would definitively provide a clear identification of the parasite. What, if any, additional treatments are available for this patient?arrow_forward
