Give all of the possible organisms (that we’ve studies) and why those organisms are possibilities for causing the patient’s symptoms. For the possible organisms that you gave for your answer in part a, based on the symptoms only, which of the organisms can you rule out and why? What laboratory tests can you use to rule out even more of the organisms? What results would you expect for each organism that you have not ruled out in part b. Pick ONE of the organisms that you have left, give rational why this could be the suspected cause of the illness, and give treatment options.

Question:-

The patient was a 6 year-old male who had been in good health without significant medical problems. In late September, he was taken to his pediatrician’s office with a complaint of a sore throat, fever, headache, and swollen glands in his neck for the past 36 hours. On physical examination, he had a fever of 100.4F, a red posterior pharynx, yellowish exudate on his tonsils, and multiple, enlarged, tender cervical lymph nodes. There were no other pertinent symptoms.

  1. Give all of the possible organisms (that we’ve studies) and why those organisms are possibilities for causing the patient’s symptoms.

  2. For the possible organisms that you gave for your answer in part a, based on the symptoms only, which of the organisms can you rule out and why?

  3. What laboratory tests can you use to rule out even more of the organisms? What results would you expect for each organism that you have not ruled out in part b.

  4. Pick ONE of the organisms that you have left, give rational why this could be the suspected cause of the illness, and give treatment options.
