A 38-year-old woman went to a hospital and complained of a non-productive cough and dyspnea which has progressed over two weeks. Based on physical examination, she was pale, diaphoretic, and in acute respiratory distress. According to her, she had sexual contact with his partner for the past weeks. The physician ordered laboratory tests and results revealed that the CD4 count was significantly low. A. What enzymes might elevate and decrease in concentration based on the diagnosis of the patient and why? B. What other laboratory tests in the clinical chemistry section will correspond to the patient’s diagnosis?
