Bruno, a 48-year-old businessman, presents at the emergency room with a 12-day history of headache, myalgia, nausea, and vomiting. Patient history reveals that Bruno is a consulting engineer for the Panama Canal. Prior to his latest trip, he failed to fill a prescription for prophylactic medication. However, according to his general physician's records, all his immunizations (e.g., hepatitis, flu) are up to date. His fever was 103° F (39° C) at the time of initial examination, but alternated with periods of extreme cold and cyanosis. A complete blood count was ordered, along with parasite examination, and urinalysis. The thin Giemsa film yielded the morphologic forms in the image below.
What parasite (genus and species) do you suspect?
What is the life stage for the parasite recovered from this blood sample?
How did Bruno acquire this infection
How should the physician order the blood collection for parasite examination in this case?
A 28-year-old soldier stationed in the Middle East notices a 0.5-cm papule on his right forearm. After a week, it becomes a 1-cm nodule with a central
depression and ulcerates over the next month. Physical examination reveals a 2-cm ulcerated lesion with an indurated border, and three smaller
satellite lesions on the forearm, right axillary lymphadenopathy. No hepatosplenomegaly is noted. Laboratory studies show hemoglobin, 14.2 g/dL;
hematocrit, 42.5%; platelet count, 235,300/mm3; and WBC count, 6450/mm. Infection with which of the following organisms is the most likely cause for
the skin ulcers?
Answers A-E
A Borrelia burgdorferi
B Brugia malayi
C Leishmania major
D Mycobacterium leprae

- Mr. Jones is a 69-year-old man who was admitted to the hospital 10 days earlier with a diagnosis of acute diverticulitis. He was given intravenous fluids and empiric antibiotic coverage with ceftriaxone and metronidazole. His antibiotics were stopped after 7 days, and he continued to do well until today, when he developed abdominal pain, fever, and diarrhea. A diagnosis of Clostridium difficile colitis was made, and antibiotic treatment was initiated. Discuss the following questions: What diagnostic test would confirm the diagnosis? What risk factors did Mr. Jones have to acquire a Clostridium difficile infection? Why is oral but not intravenous vancomycin a potential treatment option for this infection?
