examinations revealed signs of sepsis including tachycardia, hypotension, elevated body temperature, and marked increased in WBCS count in CBC.
The initial diagnosis was sepsis secondary to pneumonia. Accordingly, she was admitted to the ICU and given intravenous antibiotic and treatment
for pain. In the next day (second day), the nursing staff noticed hematuria, petechiae and Ecchymosis in her body. Therefore, a coagulation study
was ordered and the obtained results revealed a thrombotic attack. BUN and creatinine were also elevated.

A lethargic 22-month old black female was presented by her mother to the emergency
room at 2:15am on a Sunday. The child had a history of a runny nose, hoarse cough and
low-grade fever (-99F) for the past 48 hours. The mother was concerned about the forced
and noisy breathing of the child. The pediatrician examined the child and found cloudy
eyes and mild inflammation of the ears, but no overt signs of bacterial infection (no
significant changes in the eardrums). The throat of the child was red and coated with
mucus. The larynx was swollen and raw.
The physician performed a rapid Strep test and found it was negative. Throat swabs were
taken for culture. The physician placed the child in a room with a warm vaporizer for about
30 minutes. This dramatically improved the breathing of the child.

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…
