- Match the infectious agent on the left with the appropriate cancer type on the right. Helicobacter pylori Epstein–Barr virus hepatitis B virus human papilloma virus parasitic flatworms A. liver cancer B. cervical cancer C. stomach cancer D. Burkitt's lymphoma E. bladder cancerarrow_forwardMatch the characteristic with the correct disease Clostridium tetani Varicella virus Rubeola virus Papillomavirus Pseudomonas aeruginosa Streptococcus pyogenes A. green pigmentation B. forced muscle contractions C. small tumors D. reactivation of the infection E. honey colored crust at infection site F. Koplik's spotsarrow_forwardA female, 8 years and 11 months of age, arrived at the main children's hospital, with fever, abdominal pain, and red rash in both forearms and legs. The mother of the patient said that the family was in camping recently in one of a tropical forest, and there were a lot of ticks in the area where they camped. What you suspected the cause of these symptom? Ancylostoma duodenale Leishmania tropica spotted fever Rickettsia Plasmodium falciparumarrow_forward

Kaposi’s Sarcomaarrow_forward1.A 43 year old male presents with a very intense localized pain in his side. Upon further observation, you notice a small red rash near the bottom of his rib cage and immediately ask him if he's been infected with the Varicella-Zoster virus before. What disease does this patient have? 2.A 53 year old man presents with a fever, stiff neck, and dizziness. He tells you he and his wife enjoy hiking through various trails. He tells you on his last trip his wife removed a tick from his back. Upon further observation, you notice a bull's-eye rash on the patients back and immediately prescribe amoxicillin.

- An otherwise healthy 24-year-old woman goes to her doctor complaining of a sudden onset of high fever, chills, uneasiness, and a severe headache. She also shows the doctor a painful sweling she is experiencing in her groin area. The doctor asks her about recent travel. She reports that she returned two days prior from a week-long camping and hiking trip in Texas. 1. How did the woman most likely contract the disease? 2. What are the potential problems associated with diagnosing this disease, and how crucial is prompt diagnosis of this disease? 3. The doctor asks you, as a nursing student rotating through his clinic, your opinion on the disease diagnosis and causative agent. What is your response? 4. How should the patient be treated? 5. Who should be notifed once the diagnosis is confimed? Why?arrow_forwardwhat is the name of the etiological agent? Treponema pallidum Francisella tularensis Plasmodium spp Cytomegalovirus Antibiotics are contraindicated for this disease as they can cause the incidence of complications to rise. True/false there is a vaccine to prevent this disease. true/false what arthropod can spread this disease? fleas ticks flies mosquitosarrow_forwardIf a cut or scrape becomes infected, Staphylococcus aureus is probably the culprit (right). These bacteria often live on the skin and they can cause a problem if they get into a wound. Most staph infections can be cured with the antibiotic methicillin. Unfortunately, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is on the rise. Previously, antibiotic-resistant staph infections occurred mainly in hospitals and nursing homes. Now they are breaking out in schools and health clubs. The bacteria are transmitted by contact with an infected person or something that person has touched, as by sharing towels and razors. The gene conferring methicillin resistance is on a plasmid. Explain why a gene that is on a plasmid can spread more quickly than one on the bacterial chromosome.arrow_forward
