- This 19-year-old college student went to the Student Health Services because she had a slowly developing rash on both earlobes, hands and wrist, and around her neck. Her medical history revealed that she had eczema in childhood. During her early teens, she had facial acne, for which she was given tetracycline. Physical examination revealed a rash of erythema and small blisters, with marked excoriation because of the itching. Her hands were red, scaly, and dry. The rash on her hands was different from the eruptions on her neck and ears. A contact hypersensitivity was suspected. Follow-up patch tests included a standard battery of agents—rubber, cosmetics, plant extracts, perfumes, nickel, and makeup. Strongly positive reactions for rubber and nickel were observed. The student was advised to eliminate contact with rubber (e.g., rubber gloves) used at home or on the job. Her jewelry probably contained nickel and was believed to be the source of the irritation to her earlobes, neck, and…arrow_forwardA clinic received a child of 5 years with a diagnosis of acute bronchitis.

- please give me an answer that's not been posted yet. think about one of these organ system: cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphatics, integumentary. Within one of those systems, talk about the most troubling symptom a patient might have that would signal to you an infectious disease. So just one system and one symptom per person, I'm sure you will all come up with many different ones. For that symptom discuss why it is most troubling to you and how it might signify an infectious disease. You can also include examples of diseases that might fit with that symptom.arrow_forwardEnhanced phagocytosis of a cell by the binding of a specific protein is called ________. endocytosis opsonization anaphylaxis complement activationarrow_forward74. Clinical case, young homeless man, HIV+. You are working at the community clinic when a young, HIV+, homeless man presents with fever, fatigue and a cough of 6 months duration. You Gram stain a sample of his sputum and examine with your microscope, you see faintly staining bacilli in cords. You next perform an acid-fast stain on the sputum and see red staining bacilli in cords. Question: The reason the pathogen did not stain well with the Grams stain is because of the thick hydrophilic capsule thick, waxy, hydrophobic cell wall O thick, hydrophilic cell membrane O thick layer of hydrophobic peptidoglycanarrow_forward
- A 60-year-old man presents with a skin lesion on his face, which has been increasing in size for the past 6 months. He has been a farmer by occupation. His past medical history is unremarkable. A biopsy of the lesion shows nests of atypical deeply basophilic cells extending from the overlying epidermis into the papillary dermis. The nests show peripheral palisading of the cells with haphazard arrangement in the center. Which of the following descriptions of gross appearance corelate to the microscopic findings seen in this lesion?
