- Where is Rocky Mountain spotted fever commonly found? Whatsymptoms and activities would justify treatment for the diseaseprior to laboratory confirmation?arrow_forwardThis 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_forward

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
