The Case of the Lactovegetarians

Chapter 23, Problem 2CCS, The Case of the Lactovegetarians Two patientsa woman and her husband, ages 23 and 22,

Two patients—a woman and her husband, ages 23 and 22, respectively—arrive at the health clinic one morning. They report having had severe abdominal cramps, grossly bloody diarrhea, nausea, and fever for 48 hours. Cultures of stool samples grown under microaerophilic, capneic conditions contain comma- shaped, Gram-negative bacilli (see the photo). Both the patients are lactovegetarians and report being part of a “cow leasing” program at a local dairy in which patrons lease part of a cow’s milk production so they can drink natural, whole, raw milk. The couple devised the program so that they and several neighbors could circumvent state regulations prohibiting the sale of unpasteurized milk. Investigators obtained and cultured a milk sample from the dairy's bulk milk tank. The cultures contained the bacterium pictured.

1. What is the pathogen?
2. How did the couple become infected?
3. Are the couple’s colleagues at work at risk of acquiring an infection from the couple?
4. What other foods that are common sources of this bacterium can be ruled out in this case?

Preoperative Diagnosis: Torn medial meniscus, left knee Postoperative Diagnosis: Combination horizontal cleavage tear/flap tear, posterior horn, medial meniscus, left knee. Operation: Arthroscopic subtotal medial meniscectomy, left knee Anesthetic: General endotracheal Description of Procedure: The patient was placed on the operating table in the supine position and general endotracheal anesthesia was administered. After an adequate level of anesthesia was achieved, the patient's left lower extremity was prepped with Betadine scrubbing solution, then draped in a sterile manner. Several sites were then infiltrated with 1% Xylocaine solution with Epinephrine to help control bleeding from stab wounds to be made at these sites. These stab wounds were made anterolaterally at the level of the superior pole of the patella for insertion of an irrigation catheter into the suprapatellar pouch area, anterolaterally at the level of the joint line for insertion of the scope and anteromedially at…
