This is a case study for Immunology & Serology with (4) questions for studying purposes.
A 35-year-old man recently received a kidney transplant. He had been feeling well until 2 weeks before, when he experienced a sore throat, fever, chills, profound malaise, and myalgia. Splenomegaly and lymphadenopathy were observed. His medications included cyclosporine.
1. Could this patient be suffering from an infectious disease?2. Why would this patient be susceptible to an opportunistic infection?3. How could an infection of this type be potentially eliminated?4. Are health care workers at risk for infections of this type?
38) Female,35 years old in the past six months, she had recurrent fever with joint swelling and pain in both hands,periungual erythema and purpura in both lower extremities. Laboratory examination showed tinrombocytopenia, positive urnine protein, and decreased complement. The most likely diagnosis is?
A Systemic lupus erythematosus
B Rheumatoid Arthritis
C Allergic purpura
D Vasculitis
E Glomerulus nephritis
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.
QUESTIONS:
1. What might be the predominant antibody present in the patient’s serum and why?
