Answer:

a. Viral infections may lead to inflammation between the ribs (i.e., costochondritis)

b. Viral infection

c. Viral infection may lead to the influx of chemical mediators (cytokines), increased blood flow, and movement of plasma and white blood cells (leukocytes) from the blood into the injured site

Explanation:

Costochondritis is a painful condition caused by the inflammation of the cartilage that joins the ribs to the breastbone (this joint is known as the “costochondral joint”). Costochondritis is caused by inflammation of the costochondral joint, which may be triggered by multiple causes including, among others, viral/bacterial/fungal infections, exercise or strenuous activity, chest trauma, osteoarthritis, presence of tumors, etc. Acute inflammation is the immediate immune response of the body to harmful stimuli (e.g., viral infections), which is characterized by the increased movement of white blood cells (such as neutrophils and macrophages) that rapidly travel from the blood into the injured area. This plasma contains chemical mediators like pro-inflammatory cytokines which are secreted from immune cells (e.g., Th1 cells, CD4+ cells, macrophages) in order to promote inflammation.

lys-0071 [83]

A postpartum woman is prescribed antibiotic because of post endometritis her breast fed infant should be observed for proper nutrition intake from breast feeding.

An infection of the womb's lining called postpartum endometritis can appear up to six weeks after childbirth. After deliveries via caesarean section, it occurs substantially more frequently. It typically results in a fever, stomach ache, and increased vaginal bleeding. Antibiotics must be used quickly to treat postpartum endometritis.

The two antibiotics clindamycin and gentamicin combined are believed to be the best ones to use for postpartum endometritis. Usually, injections are used to administer these antibiotics. Endometritis postpartum can develop up to six weeks following the birth of the child. Most frequently, it occurs between the second and tenth day following birth.
