One paragraph
Donna suddenly developed a sore throat accompanied by a fever of 103°F. When over-the-counter medication was ineffective, Donna sought the advice of her doctor. He took a throat culture and, anticipating that it might be a bacterial infection, he began her on a 10-day regime of antibiotics.
Why is it important that the doctor confirms this is a bacterial infection, before prescribing antibiotics? Would the doctor prescribe antibiotics if this was a viral infection?

Even if you don’t have celiac disease, adopting a gluten-free diet has numeroushealth benefits because gluten is toxic to the GI tract.E. Diagnosis of celiac disease can be made by serological testing for the presence of anti-gliadin antibodies.arrow_forward
