Scenario #1: A pregnant 27-year-old woman comes into the clinic. She is complaining of morning sickness. Her pregnancy is at 21 weeks and has been progressing normally. She complains of flu-like symptoms with fever, chills, headache, and body ache. When you check her, you see a rash covering her abdomen. The rash is diffuse with slightly raised red bumps that cover most of her trunk. You are afraid that she may be suffering from a more severe condition that could threaten her baby. You ask her about her sexual history. She has had numerous sexual partners. This is an unplanned pregnancy, but she and the father decided to keep the baby. They have been monogamous since they found out at about week 6. Previously, the woman did have one genital lesion, but she thought it was an ingrown hair since it went away quickly. She has had no other genital lesions. You take a swab of her vagina, stain the slide, and view the specimen under the light microscope. No bacteria are identified. What is your diagnosis? Why were no bacteria visible on the stained slide? What diagnostic test should you use to definitively diagnose this infection? What treatment would you prescribe to this patient? How could this woman have protected herself and her baby?
