The lesions become so itchy with the change of weather or when the affected parts got sweating. There was no other cutaneous or systemic complaints. His past health was unremarkable. The physical examination revealed numerous sharply demarcated brownish macules and patches on the arms and back. The size of the lesions ranged 3- 6 mm in diameter. Under the wood lamp examination, some of the lesions fluoresced into yellowish gold. What can be done to treat and avoid the recurrence of the disease?

- 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_forwardA 63-year-old international telecommunications executive visits your office with complaints of a high fever. The fever is not constant, but intermittent. When you press him for details he estimates that every three days or so he suffers these debilitating “sweats”. He usually has headaches and muscle aches during the episodes. They keep him home from work. After half a day or so, he feels better. He reports that he has experienced these episodes for about two months. What is the name of the condition you suspect? What is the causative organism? Is this pathogen eukaryotic or prokaryotic? What should be your first question about the patient’s history? What are the two main places in the human body that are exploited by the causative organism in this disease? Can this individual transmit this infection to others? Why or why not? How should this patient be treated (general treatment procedures/explain)?arrow_forwardMrs. Jones is a 70-year-old woman you are admitting to the skilled nursing facility after a total hip replacement. When you obtain her past medical history, she reports a problem with a chronic rash under her breasts and in her supragluteal fold. She has tried a number of topical antifungal treatments without success. She has never seen a dermatologist. While she finds the rash a nuisance and experiences an occasional increase in itchiness, it is something she can live with. Her primary care provider diagnosed the rash as Candida and encouraged her to keep the area clean and dry and to use antifungals. Recently, her 42-year-old daughter was diagnosed with psoriasis and asked about a family history of the disease. Mrs. Jones was unaware of anyone in her or her husband’s family with that diagnosis. On physical examination, you note a shiny, erythematous lesion with symmetrical distribution under both breasts. It is well demarcated without drainage and without the presence of any…arrow_forward

Describe the causative agentarrow_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_forward
