Summary Introduction

To determine:

What problems must be considered to treat (drug therapy) the baby. What treatment would you guess was used for the infant?

Case summary:

A mother (Hispanic) brought her fragile son (infant) to an emergency room (Southern Texas). Her baby developed annexations and it was stabilized by the nurse. The boy diagnosed with tuberculosis, which severely affected his brain. Health-care workers revealed that his father and his uncle exposed TB to the baby, when the mom went to jail (Mexican) to meet both of them. His uncle was affected by drug-susceptible strain, whereas the jail inmates carried multi-drug resistant strain of TB. To determine which strain is infected the baby is a tedious one, because it will take weeks to come to a conclusion. Doctors must take a hard decision. Weather, the baby should be given a multi-drug-resistant strain (give painful consequences) or they should use  a normal drug (less stressful drug).

It has been several days and the doctors are perplexed that her body is unable to fight off the infection. The doctors take a blood sample and have it sent to the lab for analysis. The lab results indicate that the vacuoles in her white blood cells are successfully trapping the bacteria.  However, one specific organelle is malfunctioning; specifically, this organelle is not binding to the vacuoles and therefore cannot release the enzymes necessary to break down the bacterial cell walls. Identify the malfunctioning organelle so doctors can begin providing the proper…
