Step 1
We need to go through each description on the left and match it with the correct infection on the right. **Description 1: causes Burkitt's lymphoma** * Burkitt's lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is strongly associated with the Epstein-Barr virus Show more…

Drag the statements or images to the correct disease category to examine the spectrum of cardiovascular and lymphatic system diseases caused by microorganisms. Subacute form caused by alpha-hemolytic streptococci that are typically normal biota. Acute form caused by Streptococcus species and Staphylococcus aureus. Pneumonic and bubonic forms caused by Yersinia pestis. Plasminogen activator and a capsule are virulence factors in this disease. F. tularensis is the causative agent and one of the most infectious bacteria known. Category A bioterrorism agent that causes "rabbit fever" Caused by Borrelia burgdorferi transmitted by ticks. When caused by EBV, this disease is commonly identified using a differential blood count. Symptoms determined by age at infection with virus; adolescents more commonly show symptoms Plague Mononucleosis Lyme Disease Tularemia Endocarditis Pneumonic and bubonic forms caused by Yersinia pestis.

Listeria monocytogenes Francisella tularensis Coxiella burnetii Rickettsia spp. Chlamydia trachomatis Treponema pallidum Mycobacterium tuberculosis Mycobacterium leprae 1. From the list of intracellular bacteria above, identify the disease and causative agent for each scenario below. a. A five-day old baby with swollen eyelids and profuse purulent discharge. b. A girl with a pet rabbit has several skin ulcers and painful, swollen, draining lymph nodes. c. A tick bit a hunter in South Carolina. After seven days he had a fever, chills, headache, and myalgia. Three days later, he had a petechial rash starting in the extremities and spreading to the trunk, including the palms and soles. d. Previously promiscuous female decides to get married in her mid 30s. She attempts to get pregnant and experiences an ectopic pregnancy. e. A 50-year old male married ordained minister showed signs of swollen lymph nodes and granulomatous abscess and LGV. The couple repeatedly denied any other sexual partners. Reluctantly the minister submitted to providing samples. There was NO growth on Chlamydial cultures but the sample was not submitted in the proper transport medium. The patient repeatedly denied any hunting exposures. However, the wife finally recalled that 1 week prior, her husband had picked up a baby rabbit that had died in his hands. The rabbit was described to be very warm and trembling.

Five human infections (or resulting diseases) are presented below. For each one, find three matching terms from the associated word bank (see below). Some terms can be used more than once. Each term should be used at least once. 1. Pneumocystis pneumonia in an advanced AIDS patient 2. Plague originating in a bite from a Yersinia pestis-infected rat flea 3. Undiagnosed Mycobacterium tuberculosis lung infection 4. Infection of meninges caused by Neisseria meningitidis 5. Digestive tract infection with the water pathogen Vibrio cholerae WORD BANK Acute Infection Chronic Infection Asymptomatic infection Secondary infection Zoonotic Infection Airborne Infection Bacteremia Viremia Contact transmission Vehicle transmission Vector transmission Opportunistic pathogen Breaching of the blood-brain barrier Non-living reservoir
