To determine:
The importance of the normal micro biome of the female reproductive tract that helps to maintain a vaginal
Introduction:
The female reproductive system is found near the urinary system. Vulva is the external genitalia in females that open towards the vagina. Vagina is a muscular tract that is attached to the cervix. The lower part of the uterus is called cervix, which is more likely to get infected. The uterus extends to the fallopian tubes and the ovaries. Ovaries stimulate the production of ova, estrogen and progesterone that are important for the growth and regulation of reproductive organs, menstrual cycle control, and for the preparation of uterus for pregnancy.

- A 35-year old man who is originally from Palawan, Philippines traveled to South America to live with his partner. 3 days after the man stayed in abroad, he went to a hospital and complained of frequent abdominal cramping and diarrhea. According to the patient, he had no sexual contact with his partner and had not eaten any spoiled food that might cause his diarrhea. His physician ordered a stool examination and the results were normal and no cyst/ trophozoite of a parasite are seen. 1. What possible actions or additional laboratory tests are needed in this case to rule out the most likely diagnosis if the patient is infected with a parasite? Why?arrow_forwardA 35-year old man who is originally from Palawan, Philippines traveled to South America to live with his partner. 3 days after the man stayed in abroad, he went to a hospital and complained of frequent abdominal cramping and diarrhea.

His physician ordered a stool examination and the results were normal and no cyst/ trophozoite of a parasite are seen. A. What might be the possible reason why there are no cysts/trophozoites seen in the stool? Is there a discrepancy? B.

Is this caused by a parasitic infection or no? If you were the medical laboratory scientist, how you will handle this situation?arrow_forwardIdentify: 20.

O The normal skin flora of a newborn baby delivered by Caesarian section is the same as that of a baby born via vaginal birth. Babies born via vaginal birth are coated in a protective acidic film created by microbial fermentation in the mother's vaginal canal. Question 19 Choose the false statement below. O A reservoir differs from a fomite as the reservoir is a place of microbial growth. O An asymptomatic host of a microbe may be considered a reservoir if there is no disease state present. O Carriers of a disease show no symptoms nor do they shed microbes passing the disease to someone else.arrow_forwardName Section Table 34.1 Sexually Transmitted Diseases Disease Infective Mode(s) of Transmission Symptoms Diagnosis and Agent Treatment Chlamydia Gonorrhea Syphilis HPV Herpes (HSV-1 and HSV-2) HIV/AIDS Trichomonas Pubic Lice 112 Lab 34arrow_forwardThe line of defense that uses movement such as sloughing of mucin or diarrhea to rid the body of germs is ___. chemical physical cell mediated mechanicalarrow_forward
