TRUE OR FALSE
1. Since a tattoo is a pigment considered as an intracellular accumulation, it is absolutely toxic
2. Even if the cell is intact, there can be an irreversible cell injury if the nucleus is affected
3. There is excessive accumulation of substances in a tissue if you will not only be able to observe them intracellularly but also extracellularly
Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi)
2. Shape and arrangement of your pathogen
Borrelia burgdorferi more famously known as Lyme disease has a spiral shape and an arrangement called spirochete which are spiral-shaped bacteria that resemble a long coil.
3. Type of flagella, number, and correctly named arrangement of the flagella (example: monotrichous)
Because Borrelia burgdorferi is a spirochete they have a unique way in which they move. They have what’s called axial filaments. Axial filaments lap themselves around the bacteria between the cell wall and an outer sheath and are bound at the ends of the bacteria. The fibrils then spin and help move the bacteria in a spiral form. A good example of this motion would be a drill and a drill bit. They are also known as Endoflagella.
4. Capsule or not (If yes, describe what is it made from)
Borrelia burgdorferi doesn’t have capsules but what’s called a slime layer. In recent studies done by researcher Misha Kudryashev he was…
Immunology Case Study to study
A 34 week pregnant women called her obstetrician as she was worried after coming down with a fever and sore throat. The doctor ordered EBV testing and CMV antibody testing. EBV testing was negative, but the mother demonstrated a four fold increase in CMV IgG after a 14 day interval.1. What is the definitive testing to be done to confirm CMV infection in the mother?
2. What are the chances her newborn will be born with symptoms of congenital CMV?
3. Why are CMV screenings on all pregnant women not a part of routine prenatal care?
4. What antibody class (IgG or IgM) would point to CMV infection in newborn testing?
