Answer:

A) bacterial meningitis probably due to Streptococcus

Explanation:

These signs and symptoms are classic meningitis and when collecting cerebrospinal fluid, you notice cloudy fluid and the existence of gram-positive spherical cells is very likely to be caused by Streptococcus.

Direct Bacterioscopy is an examination performed from the CSF and other normally sterile body fluids. Gram staining of CSF allows the morphological and tintorial characterization of the bacteria present - in the case of meningococci, a Gram-negative diplococcus; pneumococcus, a Gram-positive diplococcus, and Haemophilus influenzae, a pleomorphic Gram-negative rod.

Streptococcus pneumoniae is stained by gram as gram-positive diplococcus.

A condition in which blunt injury causes some bleeding in the muscle is commonly known as_________.
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

a bruise

Explanation:

Muscle contusion is the injury caused by the mechanical damaging force that occurs without breaking the skin and can cause bruising or crushing or hide other serious internal injuries. The effects of a blunt blow vary according to the force and energy applied to the organism, resulting in a superficial lesion, such as ecchymosis, or injuries to organs and viscera that can compromise the life of the subject, such as a bruise or fracture.

The way to proceed with a bruise is similar in all three cases. It is convenient to apply cold, without direct contact with the skin, for twenty minutes every hour. If the affected area is a limb, it will remain raised above the height of the heart. In third grade, it should be immobilized as if it were a bone lesion. Hematomas should never be manipulated.
