Chapter 19, Problem 2CCS
A Child with Warts
Ten-year-old Rudy has several large warts on the fingers of his hands. They do not hurt, but their unsightly appearance causes him to shy away from people. He is afraid to shake hands or to play with other children, out of fear that he may transfer the warts to them. Initially, his mother tells him not to worry about them, but Rudy cannot help feeling self-conscious. Furthermore, Rudy fears that the warts may somehow spread on his own body. After consulting a physician, his mother decides to have the warts surgically removed.
- 1. Is it possible that Rudy’s warts will spread to other parts of his body?
- 2. Is it possible for someone else to “catch” Rudy’s warts by shaking his hand?
- 3. If Rudy’s warts disappear without t reatment, are they likely to return to the same sites on his hand?
- 4. Are the warts on Rudy’s finger likely to become cancerous?
- 5. Following surgical removal of the warts, is there a chance that Rudy will develop warts again?

This 19-year-old college student went to the Student Health Services because she had a slowly developing rash on both earlobes, hands and wrist, and around her neck.
Her medical history revealed that she had eczema in childhood. During her early teens, she had facial acne, for which she was given tetracycline. Physical examination revealed a rash of erythema and small blisters, with marked excoriation because of the itching. Her hands were red, scaly, and dry. The rash on her hands was different from the eruptions on her neck and ears. A contact hypersensitivity was suspected.
Follow-up patch tests included a standard battery of agents—rubber, cosmetics, plant extracts, perfumes, nickel, and makeup. Strongly positive reactions for rubber and nickel were observed.
The student was advised to eliminate contact with rubber (e.g., rubber gloves) used at home or on the job. Her jewelry probably contained nickel and was believed to be the source of the irritation to her earlobes, neck, and…

- Justine is a 14-year-old who is a star player on her high school's soccer team. The team is currently 17-2 this year and has a chance at going to the state championship. Over the past few days, Justine began feeling ill with noticeable signs of a high fever. 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_forwardThree-week-old Xavier Capelleto was brought to the emergency room with a bright scaly rash that first developed on his legs and then spread to his trunk and face. He also had blisters on his palms and the soles of his feet. Xavier’s parents said that he had been experiencing looser bowel movements than expected, a large amount of yellow pus had been accumulating around his swollen eyelids, and he showed signs of oral thrush. Tests revealed that Xavier’s lymphocyte count was only 8% of total white blood cells (normal = 50%), all immunoglobulins were markedly decreased except for IgE, and no thymic shadow was detected on a chest X-ray. Eosinophilia was also detected. His parents were told that Xavier had an autosomal recessive form of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) known as Omenn syndrome, which affects the development of both B cells and T cells. A bone marrow transplant was recommended; however, Xavier died from respiratory failure due to an opportunistic bacterial infection.…arrow_forwardJA is a 28-year-old female who presents with a rash over her arms, buttocks, lower back, and legs.

- Can someone have measles without having Koplik spots?arrow_forwardHere's a photo of Sam. He has infectious mononucleosis (IM). After he was given the antibiotic penicillin he developed this rash: (rash in picture) Select two things that are consistent with this situation. 1. Mono often causes a really sore throat. Ali's doctor might have thought Ali had strep throat, and therefore prescribed an antibiotic. 2. Antibiotics only kill bacteria. Taking an antibiotic when you have mono will not cure mono. 3. The only explanation is that Ali simultaneously got mono, took penicillin, AND got chickenpox. 4. Although the rash is unpleasant, at least Ali will not get rheumatic fever or glomerulonephritis due to untreated mono.arrow_forwardA 12-year-old girl is taken to a walk-in clinic in her neighborhood drug store for a sore throat and fever. The mother states that the child has been just lying around and is having her period. The girl reports that she has had two periods in the past month and has to change her sanitary pad every couple of hours. The clinician notes several bruises, and the girl does not remember how she got them. After speaking with a colleague, the clinician advises the mother to take the girl to a local children's hospita to be evaluated. Later that day, the girl is diagnosed with ALL and begins chemotherapy. All leukemias have certain pathophysiologic features in common. These include: 1. Increased function of granulocytic-monocytic cells 2. Increased function of bone marrow to fight the leukemic cells 3. Overcrowding of the bone marrow 4.
