Chapter 22, Problem 26RQ
Ted finds out that he has been exposed to measles. He is concerned that he might have contracted the disease, so he goes to see his physician. The physician takes a blood sample and sends it to a lab for antibody levels and titers. The results show an elevated level and activity of IgG antibodies to rubella (measles) virus but very few IgG antibodies to the virus. Has Ted contracted the disease?

A person with type A+ blood gets a transfusion
with type O- blood. What is most likely to happen
to the recipient?
A) The recipient's blood will agglutinate
(clump) due to the presence of natural
antibodies in the recipient's blood.
B) Nothing because the donor's blood is
compatible with the recipient's blood.
C) The recipient's blood will agglutinate
(clump) due to the presence of natural
antigens on the recipient's blood cells.
Ted finds out that he has been exposed to the measles and is concerned that he might have contracted the disease. His physician takes a blood sample and sends it to a lab to measure antibody levels. The results show an elevatedlevel of IgM antibodies to rubella (German measles) virus but very few IgG antibodies to the virus. Did Ted contract the disease?
In the first panel of part (a), what is the purpose of the antibodies attached to the well?

- Eileen presents with flu-like symptoms, including fever, chills,and body aches:- a. What part of the immune response is likely producing these symptoms? b. You order blood work and find that the number of neutrophils in the blood is greatly elevated. What does this tell you about the likely type of pathogen involved? Explain. c. What might it mean if lymphocytes instead of neutrophils were elevated? Explain your reasoningarrow_forwardMs. House, a 32-year-old Hispanic woman, has had a history of intermittent pleuritic chest pain and joint pain for the past several years. Recently, she went to her physician because she noticed that an erythematous, butterfly-shaped rash had appeared on her face. Further lab tests indicated protein in her urine. Her blood test indicated the presence of numerous antinuclear antibodies, especially anti-DNA, and mature neutrophils containing nuclear material. A diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was made. Discussion Questions Discuss possible reasons why SLE was not diagnosed earlier. (See SLE—Clinical Signs and Symptoms.) Discuss how the presence of antibodies can cause such widespread damage in organ systems. (See SLE—Pathophysiology.) Discuss treatments for SLE and a prognosis for the patient in this case.

- Mr. Y’s HIV is being managed on a combination drug regimen that includes two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and one protease inhibitor (PI). His viral load is currently 50,000 copies/ mL; 3 months ago, his viral load was undetectable. His CD4+ T-lymphocyte count is 526 cells/mm3, down from 680 cells/mm3 3 months ago. Although he has been following his HAART regimen, he has experienced multiple complications, including several opportunistic infections. In light of his medical history, Mr. Y is especially concerned about his shortness of breath and hemoptysis. 1.What is the mechanism of action of the NRTI drugs that Mr. Y is taking for his HIV? 2. What is the rationale for the use of combined drug therapy in the treatment of HIV?arrow_forwardWhy might erythroblastosis fetalis occur when an Rh- mother becomes pregnant with a second Rh+ baby (after exposure to the previous Rh+ baby's blood)? A) Erythroblastosis fetalis can only occur when an Rh+ mother becomes pregnant with an Rh- baby. B) After primary exposure, if the Rh- mother has an Rh+ baby, then antibodies the mom produces can cross the placenta and attack the baby's blood. C) The Rh- mother always produces antibodies to the Rh+ blood, so erythroblastosis fetalis is a condition that can happen to any Rh+ baby (first or subsequent).arrow_forwardAlthough we lumped all lymphocytes together (normal and unusually large ones), what is the correct name for the large (activated) B-lymphocytes that are producing antibodies?arrow_forward
