A physician orders a direct anti-globulin test (DAT) on a jaundiced newborn baby. The DAT is weakly positive. The baby types B positive and the mother's record shows a type of O positive. What is the most probable explanation for the baby's condition? OA. the baby has hemolytic disease of the newborn due to anti-D O B. the positive DAT result is erroneous OC. the jaundice is due to an IgM, anti-A O D. the baby has hemolytic disease of the newborn caused by anti-B

A new blood test has been developed to screen for disease Z. Researchers establish 50 units as a cut point above which a test is considered positive and thereby indicative of disease. The test manufacturers determine that the test's sensitivity is unacceptably low. However, the manufacturers are not concerned with the specificity and do not want the cost of the test to rise. How can they improve the sensitivity of the test?
Four patients were diagnosed with "Pyrexia/fever of unknown origin." Their serum samples were sent to the laboratory to be tested against Typhoid Ag. Draw and design the steps taken to conduct the quantitative agglutination test seen in the image below. Provide your interpretation of the results. Note that paired sera was collected for patient 1,2 and 3. However, patient 4 was lost to follow up.
A child diagnosed with strep throat 3 days ago enters the clinic crying hysterically. The parent tells the practical nurse (PN) that the child screams in pain even with a light touch. The child is short of breath and anxious. Which manifestations warrant immediate intervention by the PN? A Red, hot, and swollen joints. B Pulse oximetry of 88% 02 saturation. C Slightly raised rash with ragged edges. D Heart rate 110 beats/minute.
A male toddler has been experiencing fatigues and headaches weeks after moving in a semi renovated condominium. During the physical exam, the parent mentioned also of mild headaches from time to time since some construction materials are in the hallway and the pungent smell of paint is still there. The physician ordered laboratory tests. Complete blood count showed a slight decrease in hemoglobin and hematocrit and low MCHC and MCV. Precipitated RNA can also be seen in the PBS. Identify the disease associated and what can be the main cause?
Rewrite the following sentences after correction: 1. The N1303k mutation in the CFTR gene of CF patients is autosomal dominant disorder due to insertion of asparagine at 1303. 2. If a person RBCs have B surface antigen and it will clump with antigen B such clumping indicates blood type B. 3. Indirect ELISA can detect polygenic gene expression.

TREPONEMA PALLIDUM HAEMAGGLUTINATION TEST (TPHA) Syphilis is a complex disease which is normally sexually transmitted. The causative organism, Treponema pallidum cannot be grown on conventional laboratory culture media or in the tissue culture. Infection is normally diagnosed by directing antibodies specific for T. pallidum in the patient’s serum or CSF. Antibody becomes detectable at about 3-4 weeks following exposure, and may remain at detectable levels for long periods after treatment. Two groups of antibodies are formed: one reacting with the non-treponemal antigens used in the VDRL / Carbon antigen and RPR tests, and the other reacting with the specific antigens of T. pallidum. Antibody to non-treponemal antigens is found (normally) in active disease and the levels subside after successful treatment. Specific antibody persists long after the infection has been successfully treated. It is necessary to test for both groups of antibody since the non-treponemal antibody may…
Children get a chickenpox vaccine at 1 year old and a booster shot between 4 to 6 years of age, this will be 90% effective in preventing the disease, some may still develop the illnessA. trueB. false One of the following choices is NOT correctA. the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) causes chickenpox and is highly contagiousB. VZV is a type of poxvirus virus and is also responsible for herpes zoster (shingles)C. symptoms of VZV infection include fever, headache, and stomach ache, an itchy blister-like rash follows within 10-21 daysD. Chickenpox is mild in childhood, but is serious in children with compromised immune systemsE. the VZV can remain dormant in the body for decades, and if it becomes reactivated it results in herpes zoster, or shingles (an extremely painful rash)
a. Seropositivity means having a blood serum that tests positive. Explain why it may or may not develop at the same rate in all patients exposed to the same microbe. b. Would a high rate of false-positives decrease the sensitivity or specificity of a serological test?
What can you say about a positive latex agglutination test? Question 3 options: A It shows the patient is sick with the disease B It shows the patient has never been exposed to the disease C It shows the patient has both the antibodies and the antigen for a disease D It shows no agglutination E It shows the patient has the antibodies to a disease
Select all the statements below that are true regarding hemolytic disease of the newborn. If a mother is Rh- and becomes sensitized with anti-Rh antibodies, all subsequent children will be affected Hemolytic disease of the newborn can only occur if the mother is Rh-. If an Rh- mother becomes sensitized, only her subsequent children with Rh+ blood will be affected If a mother is Rh- and her first child is Rh+, the child's RBCS will be attacked by the mother's antibodies.
