A 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)?
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…
