Your 3-month-old son is taken to the emergency room because he has a fever and difficulty breathing. The child is admitted to intensive care because the doctor thinks he has a type of pneumonia whose name you do not recognize. The doctor reports that the hospital has seen a dozen pediatric cases of this pneumonia in the past week. The doctor swabs your son’s nose but says the results won’t be back for several days. In the meantime, they will give supportive therapy, including an inhaled spray, but no antibacterial drugs. The doctor feels sure the child will recover.

2. Why aren’t they giving him antibacterial drugs?
3. How can the doctor be sure what’s causing the pneumonia if she doesn’t yet have test results?

- The Mystery of Legionnaire's Disease -The bicentennial convention of the American Legion was held in Philadelphia in 1976 at the elegant but aging Bellevue Stratford Hotel. Toward the end of the conference, a number of the attendees were suffering from flulike symptoms, and 4 days after leaving Philadelphia, an Air Force veteran died from pneumonia. During the next week, 30 additional Legionnaires who had been at the conference died from what became known as Legionnaire's Disease. Theories ranged from viral pneumonia to terrorism (before this became a popular alternative) to a communist plot (after all, these were mostly veterans who died). Conduct a research and answer the following: a) find the cause of the Legionnaire's Disease; b) explain how this disease spread in the hotel and come into contact with the Legionnaires (attendees) c) explain how this event can be prevented in the future.arrow_forwardWhat are Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas (NHLS) and how are they defined?
