2:44 PM dO ll all45€ A 30-year-old ra...A 30-year-old rancher was admitted to a hospital on February 12 because of a two-day historyof headache, chills, and 40 degree Celsius fever. Before he was admitted, he began vomiting.During his admission it was found out that he has an orange-sized swelling in the left axilla. Alaboratory analysis was administered using lymph-node aspirate and smear of peripheral blood,the result was reported to contain gram-positive cocci, often in pairs. Due to this situation hewas given cefoxitin. The patient was acutely ill. Within a few hours of admission, he had acardiopulmonary arrest. During resuscitation efforts, he vomited and aspirated his vomitus; achest X-ray showed bilateral infiltrate. The patient was also bled from several body sites. Sixhours after admission the patient died. Based on data given, the patient had trapped, killed, andskinned 3 kit foxes, 4 coyotes, and 1 bobcat. The patient cut his left hand shortly before skinningthe bobcat on February 7.After his death, biochemical testing of a gram negative rod isolated from blood culturesidentified the etiology as Enterobacter agglomerans.Questions:1. Identify the following periods: incubation, prodromal, illness, and decline.2. Identify the etiologic agent of this disease. Briefly explain how you arrived at yourconclusion.3. What microbiological tests would you perform to verify the etiology?4. How might the patient have been treated between February 7 and 12?5. What special precautions needed to be taken by the hospital and mortuary personnel?

At first it was a small piece of skin induration of about 3×2cm, with multiple pus spots, then the skin swelling area expanded, infiltrating edema appeared, local pain increased, the surface skin was purple-brown with area about 6×5cm, the body temperature was 39.2℃, and he had diabetes history for 10+ years. The following treatment measures are incorrect for this patient: Remove pus and inactivated tissue The incision line should exceed the edge of the lesion The incision can be filled with yarn One-stage suture of the incision Make a "++" incision
Lin, a 5-year-11-month-boy. He-had a fever 20 days ago with no obvious trigger and reached the highest oral- temperature of- 40°C, no obvious cough, runny nose, vomiting, headache, dizziness, melena, urinary frequency, urgency, and dysuria but had nose bleeding. He visited a local hospital and-underwent a blood routine test: WBC=8.7X10°L, N=21%, RBC= 3.36X10%/L, BPC=75X 10°/L, Hb=109g/L; peripheral -blood smear shows: atypical cells 29%. The local hospital suspected "infectious mononucleosis", thus intravenous ganciclovir was given and his blood was extracted to check for anti-EBV antibody simultaneously. After 6-days of intravenous ganciclovir, his body temperature still fluctuated at around: 38°C. Anti-EBVVCA-IgM(-), anti-VCA-IgG(+) 1. Do you think the doctor's diagnosis is correct? And what do you think the next step would the doctor take? 2. How long does a normal fever and infectious fever last?

He-had a fever 20 days ago with no obvious trigger and reached the highest oral- temperature of- 40°C, no obvious cough, runny nose, vomiting, headache, dizziness, melena, urinary frequency, urgency, and dysuria but had nose bleeding. In the first hospital, he was suspected to have EBV infection and "infectious mononucleosis". He was given intravenous ganciclovir at first. However, Lin's oral temperature still fluctuated at around 38.5°C after the regimen and complained of weakness, significant headache, and bilateral elbow joints pain. He then visited another outpatient clinic of a pediatric hospital, and physical examination in the department shows: well physical development, conscious, steady breathing, well mental response, no anaemic face, temperature 37.5°C. No superficial lymph nodes were obviously enlarged. Skin rash (-). No neck stiffness, Kernig's sign (-), Brudzinski's sign (-), Babinski's sign (-). All joints had no swollen and tenderness but…
a 58-year-old Asian male .He visited his physician because he noticed dark colored lesions on his inner thighs, have increased in number, size. For the last three months he has been feeling weaker and more fatigued than usual; his weight dropped from 170 to 155 pounds. Xin’s blood was drawn and testing was conducted. His hematocrit was 45% and white-blood cell count was 2,500 white-blood cells/mm3, with the differential showing neutrophils 65%, lymphocytes 25%, monocytes 10%. A biopsy was taken of one of the discolored lesions and grown in cell culture. After three days of growth the cells were confirmed as coming from malignant cancerous tissue. A magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the area around the skin lesions on Xin’s inner thigh revealed enlarged lymph nodes, a sign of potential metastasis. What possible Diagnosis or disorders can you rule out for this paitent

A 62-year old, recently widowed male Hispanic patient, KB. was brought in to the emergency department (ED) by his daughter for progressively worsening shortness of breath, fatigue, a lingering non-productive cough, and generalized edema. One month prior, he noticed dyspnea upon exertion, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and malaise, which he attributed to the flu. In the emergency department, he appeared anxious and pale, and had a dry yellow tint to the skin. He denied any chest pain, and he could not recall the last time he urinated. He has history of benign prostatic hyperplasia, diabetes mellitus type 2, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and renal insufficiency for the past two years. His ED assessment findings included: 1+ pedal edema, basilar crackles in the lungs bilaterally, and a scant amount of urine according to a bladder scan. His lab results indicated a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 12. Based on his subjective and objective symptoms, he was admitted with a diagnosis of…
