A 74-year old woman with history of rheumatic fever (in her twenties) presented to her physician with complaints of increasing shortness of breath (dyspnea) upon exertion. The typical swelling she’s had in her ankles for years has started to get worse over the past two months. In the past week, she’s had a decreased appetite, some nausea and vomiting and tenderness in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. On physical examination, the patient’s jugular veins were noticeably distended. Auscultation of the heart revealed a low-pitched, rumbling systolic murmur, heard best over the left upper sternal border. In addition, she had an extra “S3” heart sound. (i) What is causing this murmur? (ii) Is the history of rheumatic fever relevant to the patient’s current symptoms? Explain. (iii) Examination of the patient’s abdomen reveals an enlarged liver (hepatomegaly) and a moderate degree of ascites (‘water’ in the pericardial cavity). Explain these findings. (iv) Examination of the patient’s…

But her biggest worries are her frequent skin itching, bloated belly and apparent yellowish pallor. After physically examining Ruth, the doctor ordered several laboratory tests. These include CBC, Coagulation studies, blood chemistry and Serologic tests. The results showed Prolonged Prothrombin time, increased INR, decreased blood proteins such as albumin, elevated liver enzymes and bilirubin levels. Her serology was reactive for the Hepatitis B surface antigen, positive for Total anti-HBc but negative for the anti-HBe and anti-HBs Answer the following questions, using the medical information of Ruth. 1. Examine Ruth’s serological studies and answer the following: A. What type of viral hepatitis is Ruth infected with? How did she get it? B. Is it an acute or a chronic infection? Explain your answer C.…
