A Painful Rash
A mother brings her three-year-old daughter to her pediatric office, stating that the girl has had fever and chills for three days. The girl also has a large, intensely red patch with a distinct margin on her leg and a nearby swollen lymph node. When the health care provider touches the area, it is firm and warm, and the girl screams in pain. Based on these observations, the provider makes a presumptive diagnosis and begins treatment.
- 1. Is it necessary for the provider to confirm the diagnosis with a lab test? Why or why not?
- 2. What was the diagnosis? The treatment?
- 3. How is this different from impetigo?
- 4. What is the causative agent associated with the girl’s condition?
- 5. How might the girl have contracted the condition?
- 6. What component(s) of the causative agent stimulated the fever and the lesion?
- 7. Why is it important for the provider to begin immediate treatment?

Her parents decided to take her to the emergency room to get looked at. The attending physician admitted her to the hospital with an ongoing bacterial infection. 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…arrow_forward

(2) Upon physical examination, you notice that his ankles and knees are red and swollen, and examination with a stethoscope reveals unusual palpitations (his heart is fluttering). (3) You immediately order an EKG to check for signs of a heart-attack, a CBC blood draw to check for signs of infection, a throat culture to check for presence of Streptococcus, an X-ray of his legs to check for bone fractures or lesions, and a urine sample to check for bacterial contamination. You are using the scientific method to diagnose Marcus. Which of the following statement(s) is your puzzling observation?
