D. is a 10-month-old boy is admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit at a children’s hospital from a fire station. The mother brought the boy in after he fell on the edge of a coffee table, splitting his lip. Unable to stop the bleeding after 20 minutes, the mother drove to a nearby fire station for help. The boy appears pale, with some bruising noted on his extremities. He is afebrile and does not appear acutely ill. Lab work shows a platelet count of 150,000, with normal bleeding and prothrombin time. Select a potential diagnosis for P.D. and describe the pathophysiology of that diagnosis. How does the pathophysiology explain P.D.’s physical exam and lab findings?

He and his wife also developed a mild nonproductive cough with fatigue, myalgia for 72 hours, followed by severe dyspnea, diaphoresis, and cyanosis. Temperature of 39.5°C, pulse 105/min, respiration 25/min, and blood pressure 85/45mm Hg. Crackles were heard at the lung bases. A chest xray shows a widened mediastinum and small pleural effusions. WBC count of 13,130/mm3, hemoglobin 13.7g/dL, hematocrit 41.2%, MCV 91 um3, and platelet count 244,000/mm3. Both died despite antibiotic therapy. Several cattle, horses, and sheep on the postal worker's farm also died. Photos include extremity photo and gram stain. What specimen was most likely collected for the grain stain? Does fact that…
Clinical History:This 29-year-old male's illness began 10 weeks prior to death, with an episode of "flu". Two weeks later his urine became "smoky". He was found to have hematuria, albuminuria and elevated BUN (180 mg/dl). He died from a pulmonary embolus. Photos include throat photo, blood agar, and grain stain. What specimens should be taken, aside from blood? What tests should be run? Include both a rapid test option and a lower cost test option. What signs and symptoms should have alerted the patient to come in for testing during or after his viral flu episode? What was the most likely cause to the embolus? No references, just homework please include references
Clinical history: Over the course of 1 week, a 6-year-old boy develops 0.5- to 1.0-cm pustules on his face. During the next 2 days, some of the pustules break, forming shallow erosions covered by a honey-colored crust. New lesions then form around the crust. The boy's 40-year-old uncle develops similar lesions after visiting for 1 week during the child's illness. Photos include facial photo, sheep’s blood agar and swab culture stain. What is the proper procedure for a swab culture specimen procurement? Aside from the blood agar and stain, what other tests should be run before diagnosis and treatment? What is the mostly likely diagnosis for this child? What treatment would be common? Knowing this is contagious, what precautions should the patient’s guardians take?
