Case Study: A patient, ill with an infectious disease, is prescribed an oral bacteriostatic antibiotic. After 48 hours the nurse calls and tells the patient that they need to return to the hospital and receive an IM injection of a different, -cidal antibiotic as the pathogen is showing resistance to the first antibiotic. In addition the nurse states that there are only a few cases of this disease in the area as it is not common in Wisconsin.

the patient that they need to return to the hospital and receive an IM injection of a different, -cidal antibiotic as the pathogen is showing
resistance to the first antibiotic. In addition the nurse states that there are only a few cases of this disease in the area as it is not common
in Wisconsin.
Question: How would this infectious disease be best described by an epidemiologist?
Pandemic as the levels are low and not common
O Endemic as the nurse stated that the disease is not common in Wisconsin
O Sporadic as the nurse stated there are only a few cases in the area
O Epidemic as the nurse stated that the disease is not common in Wisconsin
