When a parent of a toddler recently diagnosed with pneumococcal pneumonia asks why their child is so much sicker than a classmate was when they were diagnosed with pneumonia, the nurse replies, "It sounds like your child has a case of bacterial pneumonia, while the classmate had viral pneumonia."
What is Pneumococcal pneumonia?
Pneumococcal disease is caused by bacteria, Streptococcus pneumoniae that can attack different parts of the body.
When these bacteria invade the lungs, they can cause pneumonia; when they invade the bloodstream, they can cause sepsis; and when they invade the covering of the brain, they can cause meningitis. These serious conditions often require hospitalization, and can lead to death.
The bacteria can also cause milder common conditions like middle-ear infection (otitis media) and sinusitis.
Anyone can get pneumococcal disease, but some groups are at increased risk including:
- Children younger than age 2 years
- Adults over age 65 years
- Children and adults with certain medical conditions, including chronic heart disease, lung disease, kidney or liver disease, diabetes, or illnesses that weaken the immune system, such as HIV and certain cancers, among others

Osteoporosis is a bone disorder from lack of vitamin D
Answer:
The presence of spotting, or some bleeding, during the first trimester of a pregnancy, is normal, as the placenta attaches itself on the uterine wall. However, there must never be severe bleeding, or pain. In the case of Mary Healy, she is presenting severe bleeding at her 3rd month of pregnancy, to the point that she has had 4 sanitary napkins used in an hour. Therefore, the doctor will have to:
a) The doctor will be concerned about three possible scenarios: the first, a miscarriage, which often happens during these first three months of pregnancy, and come with heavy bleeding depending on the type of miscarriage. The second scenario, is an ectopic pregnancy, which is a very serious case that requires emergency intervention. The third is infection, which could have caused a possible abortion.
b) The blood type that can be given to Mary Healy in an emergency situation is a complete packed red blood cell transfusion of O Rh negative type. This type is called the universal donor an it is because it is the least likely to cause an immune response from the host, when transfused.
c) The tests performed in blood work for women who present heavy bleeding during the first trimester of their pregnancy include the blood type to see if there is incompatibility, and also to evaluate the levels of pregnancy hormones. The blood type tests will also allow to know the reaction of the body to multiple transfusions, and there will possibly be a test for blood clotting factors.
