Chapter 15, Problem 3MTF
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
When the first line of defense fails to prevent the entry of pathogens in the body, then the body generates a second line of defense. Macrophages are a type of white blood cells that can digest and engulf debris and antigens by phagocytosis process. They act as the second line of defense after the pathogen has entered into the body.

A 35-year-old African American woman complains of shortness of breath and cough for the last 2 months. She also has had fatigue and mild subjective fever. Physical examination reveals several discrete subcutaneous nodules. No masses or organomegaly is found. A chest radiograph shows bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy but no lung or mediastinal masses. A biopsy of one of the skin nodules shows noncaseating granuloma.
What are the diagnostic considerations?
What serum blood test can help confirm the diagnosis?

- A woman is admitted to the hospital after a motor vehicle accident and has sustained a splenic laceration that requires a blood transfusion. The woman tells the nurse that she has type O blood. During the transfusion, she develops a fever, back pain, and flushing. The woman’s spleen continues to bleed despite bedrest and blood transfusion. She is taken to the OR for an exlap and her spleen is successfully removed. One week after recovering from the transfusion reaction, the woman develops pneumonia that may be caused by poor inspiration and cough as a result of pain from her splenic laceration. The woman is administered several antibiotics to assist her body in fighting the infection. The goal of antibiotic therapy is the elimination of the pathogen. 1. What is the reason for her fever, back pain and flushing during the transfusion? What type of hypersensitivity reaction is occurring? 2. What is the pathophysiology behind this type of reaction? 3.

Mono often causes a really sore throat. Ali's doctor might have thought Ali had strep throat, and therefore prescribed an antibiotic. 2. Antibiotics only kill bacteria. Taking an antibiotic when you have mono will not cure mono. 3. The only explanation is that Ali simultaneously got mono, took penicillin, AND got chickenpox. 4. Although the rash is unpleasant, at least Ali will not get rheumatic fever or glomerulonephritis due to untreated mono.arrow_forwardA 28-year-old soldier stationed in the Middle East notices a 0.5-cm papule on his right forearm.
