Question: One patient infected with 2 pathogens from the table below [ Cryptosporidium Chagas' Disease Fungal (Cryptpcoccosis, Sporotricosis) Bacteria (Rocky Mountain Spotted fever, Whooping cough (Pertussis),
One patient infected with 2 pathogens from the table below [ Cryptosporidium Chagas' Disease
Fungal (Cryptpcoccosis,
Sporotricosis)
Bacteria (Rocky Mountain Spotted fever, Whooping cough (Pertussis), Plague
Diptheria, botulism),
Viral (Chicken pox/ Shingles
HIV, Rubella, Mumps, Rhinovirus (common cold)
Helminth (Pinworm,
Trichinosis) Protozoan (Cryptosporidium Chagas' Disease)
disease topic list #3). The 2 pathogens selected cannot come from the same classification, in other words, you cannot choose 2 bacteria for the case study. You must choose a bacteria and a virus, fungus and a protozoan, a helminth and a bacteria, etc, as long as the combination has 2 different types of pathogens for the case study
Patient's age, gender, habits, lifestyle, diet, pets that live in the home or animals that patient has been in contact with. Make sure the pathogen is in the correct geographical region to infect your patient! Example: you cannot get Malaria on a cruise ship in Alaska
Any other underlying medical condition (pregnancy, HIV+, organ transplant, chemotherapy), occupation, travel history, vaccines received, medications presently being taken
The signs and symptoms the patient is presenting when he or she comes in seeking medical attention.
Possible transmission routes, diagnostic tests: blood work and results, culture results, staining results, antibody tests, DNA/RNA or PCR tests, where the patient sample was collected
Discuss prevention and treatment. Is there a vaccine available or in experimental trials? What is the best antibiotic or drug to treat these pathogens?

sample of case study
{Original Post by Clinical Case Study Author 1 "An otherwise healthy active 40-year-old male living in North Carolina comes into the ER complaining of fever, headache, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea, and itching around his anus which had made his restless and caused him to have trouble sleeping. He reported to the nurse that he has recently been hiking with his young toddler who still has a thumb-sucking habit. Upon a physical examination, the nurse notices a rash that looks like pinpoint dots. The physician decides to order a tape test and blood test. The tape test revealed eggs had been located around the patient's anus and the blood test show's antibodies for a gram negative, rod-shaped bacterium. The blood sample also revealed that he has elevated levels of eosinophils and the antibody IgE. The physician prescribed both Doxycycline and Mebendazole. The patients initial symptoms could have been prevented if he used insect repellant while hiking and worn long clothing. To prevent oral/fecal transmission, cut his fingernails, washed his hands after using the bathroom, changing diapers, or handling food." Dont copy from the internet write you are won word please
