A child is brought to the hospital with a high fever, nausea, and vomiting, and complaining of headache. The cerebrospinal fluid
collected by spinal tap is cloudy and contains spherical cells which stain Gram-positive. These signs and symptoms are consistent withA) bacterial meningitis probably due to StreptococcusB) aseptic meningitis from infection with Neisseria meningitidisC) tetanus resulting from infection with Clostridium botulinumD) cryptococcal meningitis due to infection with Cryptococcus neoformansE) primary amebic encephalitis caused by Naegleria
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.
It is called a Long term Memory. Information Processing Approach
is a cognitive to understand how the mind of a human or a person transforms
into sensory information and sensory information have different kinds of memory
time frames; these are -Sensory Memory- Short-term Memory-Long-term Memory. The
Nature of the Information-Processing Approach is Information, Memory, and
Thinking. Cognitive Resources: Capacity
and Speed of Processing Information and Mechanisms of Change.
The argument or the reason that Dr. Douglas used with Dr.
Brodus in allowing the Tuskegee study to continue despite of certain
circumstances was because of validation in terms of the autopsy in which he
stated that is needed in order to know whether the study is reliable and it is considered
to be science.
