His temperature is 37.2 C, pulse 84/min, and blood pressure 150/80 mmhg. Examination of the left upper extremity shows a 3 cm, non purulent ulcer with the raised borders over the forearm. Laboratory studies show a leukocyte count of 10,000 mm3. and the fasting serum glucose of 120mg/dl. Which of. the following is the most likely causal organism? A) Bruga malayi B) leishmania tropica C) schistosoma japonicum D)toxoplasma gondii E) trichinella spiralis
A 58-year-old homeless man with long-standing insulin-treated type 2 diabetes has been diagnosed with right lower extremity cellulitis. He has taken a prescribed oral antibiotic for the past week but has not noticed much improvement. For the past 2 days, he has complained of intermittent fevers and chills, nausea with poor oral intake, and proximally spreading erythema over his right leg. On the evening of admission, a friend notices that he is markedly confused and calls 911. In the emergency room, he is oriented only to his name. The patient is tachypneic, breathing deeply at a rate of 24/min. He is febrile at 38.8°C. He is normotensive, but his heart rate is elevated at 112 bpm. On examination, this patient is a delirious, unkempt man with a fruity breath odor. His right lower extremity is markedly erythematous and exquisitely tender to palpation. Serum chemistries reveal a glucose level of 488 mg/dL, potassium of 3.7 mEq/dL, and sodium of 132 mEq/L. Urine dipstick is grossly…

A 54-year-old man presents with a 12-hour history of headache, confusion and declining consciousness. His wife says that he has recently completed oral chemotherapy for an ‘indolent form of leukemia’. Examination reveals him to be responding to painful stimuli but not to verbal commands. He has bilateral axillary and inguinal lymphadenopathy. He is clinically jaundiced and anemic. His spleen is palpably enlarged. He has neck stiffness, generalized hyper-reflexia and bilateral up going plantar reflexes. Fundal examination is normal, and there are no focal neurological signs. Full blood count shows: Hemoglobin (Hb) 7.5 g/dL White blood cells (WBC) 37 × 109/L (lymphocytes 86%) Platelets 26 × 109/L What blood component is best to harvest to find out the patient’s disease? Why lymphocytes are prevalently seen in the peripheral blood film? What is the clinical significance of the platelet count?

A 63-year-old woman presented with increasing darkening of the skin, dizziness, and easy fatigability, nausea with occasional vomiting and progressive weight loss over eight months prior to presentation. There were no headaches, blurred vision, and neither loss of consciousness nor change in her bowel habit. The medical history and systemic review revealed no abnormality and were not significant as to the likely cause of her disease state. Physical examination revealed an elderly lady, pale, asthenic with generalized hyperpigmentation especially on the face, oral mucosa, palmar creases and knuckles. No features of malnutrition or hypovitaminosis. There was no significant peripheral lymphadenopathy. Main findings in the systemic examination were a pulse of 106 bpm, regular and small; blood pressure 100/60 mmHg supine and 70/40mmHg sitting. She could not stand on account of severe postural dizziness. The apex beat was normal. Fundoscopy revealed a normal fundus. All other systems were…
