Question

T.H., a 48-year-old man, was an admitted IV drug
user and occasionally abused alcohol. Over 4
weeks, he had experienced fever, night sweats,
malaise, a cough, and a 10-lb. weight loss. He was
also concerned about several discolored lesions
that had erupted weeks before on his arms and
legs.
T.H. made an appointment with a physician
assistant at the neighborhood clinic. On
examination, the PA noted bilateral anterior
cervical and axillary lymphadenopathy and pyrexia.
T.H's temperature was 39°C. The PA sent T.H. to
the hospital for further studies.
T.H's chest radiograph showed paratracheal
adenopathy and bilateral interstitial infiltrates,
suspicious of tuberculosis (TB). His blood study
results were positive for HIV and showed a
lymphocytopenia. Sputum and BAL (washing) fluid
were positive for AFB, and a PPD skin test result
was also positive. Based on these findings, T.H.
was diagnosed with HIV, TB, and Kaposi sarcoma
related to past IV drug abuse.

1. What were T.H's signs and symptoms?
2. Define what lymphadenopathy is using its root
words, prefixes, and suffixes.
3. What tests were done to T.H. at the hospital?
What samples were taken from him? Based on
your research, how are these samples collected?
