I believe the answer is Give a "catch-up" dose of varicella vaccine

The patient is under corticosteroid (prednisone) treatment which temporary suppress the immune system. When immune system suppressed, some dormant pathogen like varicella might awake  and cause reinfection. The prednisone should be continued because it will relieve the SLE symptoms.

What are organic molecules that catalyze reactions in living system
aksik [14]

Answer:

enzymes

Explanation:

Enzymes are organic molecules made up of proteins that catalyze reactions by either speed up or controlling the chemical reaction.

Enzymes are specific in the reactions they catalyze. An enzyme will only catalyze one specific reaction or a group of closely related reactions. For enzymes to catalyze a reaction, the substrate must fit in the active site on the surface of the enzyme. This forms an enzyme-substrate complex. The enzyme speeds up the formation of the products.

zvonat [6]

Answer:A man with pku marries a woman without any alleles for pku.There is little possibility that a child will inherit PKU

<u>Explanation: </u>

PKU Is Phenylketonuria results in less metabolism of amino acid. It might lead to a mental disorder or behavior problems. It is mostly Genetic.

If only one parent is suffering from it then there is little possibility that it will pass on to a child but if both the parents are having the problem of PKU then there are more chances that the child will also develop such a problem. It can be treated if we catch it at an early stage.
