- 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…arrow_forwardA 6-year-old male is brought to his pediatrician's office with chickenpox. He has had symptoms for one week, and his mother is concerned about the patient's 8-year-old sister because she had a long, painful chickenpox infection 2 years prior. Of note, the patient was not vaccinated against chickenpox because his parents did not think it was a serious enough virus to warrant the pain of the injection. 5) Which of the following explanations correctly represents how this patient could have been protected from chickenpox infection? A) He would not have been infected if he were breastfed as a baby because he would have passive natural immunity. B) He would not have been infected if his mother had gamma globulin administered during pregnancy because he would have passive artificial immunity. C) He could have been protected from infection if he received active artificial immunity through the form of a vaccine. D) He may have a primary immunodeficiency disease because healthy humans are not…arrow_forwardCompare the rash seen in Lyme disease with that seen in Rocky Mountain spotted feverarrow_forward

- Three-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_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.
