CASE STUDY PARKINSON’S DISEASE

Miss Rose is a 74 year old female, who is a retired widow and lives with her son for the past five years. Both enjoy planting seedlings and own a community agriculture store. She does not suffer with hypertension or diabetes and has an active lifestyle. She is also not known to have any psychiatric illnesses. Over the past six months Miss Rose’s son and herself noticed physical changes and decided to visit her General Practitioner. At her visit she mentioned to the doctor that she was having difficulty rising up from a sitting position after grooming her plants or turning from one table to another when she has customers. Documentation on her clinic file noted that she previously complained of difficulty walking and falling when coming out of bed. She was sent for an X-ray but there were no clinical findings. The physician asked her to describe what happened when she fell. Miss Rose verbalized that when she got up from bed and starting walking she started moving forward and backward then stooped forward with small fast steps and then she fell. Her son mentioned to the doctor that he has noticed that when she is pruning her plants she has abnormal rhythmic movement of the upper and lower limbs. She occasionally has a slight limp and her handwriting has become smaller over the past months. This has stopped her from doing her daily yoga exercises and she has been very disturbed about it. Miss Rose then further explained that the movement started on the distal part of both upper limbs at the same time. She also expressed that during rest she noticed the movement in her limbs and as she started her tasks the movements became more aggravated. Urinary incontinence is also a problem for Miss Rose and she is having difficulty in her swift movements to her bathroom. The patient was later diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. After the assessment and interview of Miss Rose the Physician documented the following: Physical Assessment Vital Signs: BP- 130/74 mmHg Temperature - 36.7 C, Pulse- 78 bpm regular and bounding Respiration- 20 bpm Height- 5ft 7 in Weight- 70 kg Facial expression- Masklike Gait- Shuffling gait with tendency to fall forward and backward CNS Examination Alert and oriented to time, person and place Level of consciousness GCS- 15/15 Sleeping patterns- normal Swallowing gag reflex- normal Cogwheel rigidity present Tremor present Bradykinesia present Dysphonia present

A women is brought to the ER where you are working triage. She has an extremely swollen right lower leg. You see what appears to be an old surgical wound in the mid-calf, with rough scar tissue surrounded by purplish-red skin. She is in a lot of pain and her husband speaks for her. He tells you that three weeks ago she had a group of moles removed from that area. It had appeared to heal initially, but three days ago the incision area started looking bigger rather than smaller. She did not return to the physician, hoping the condition would resolve itself. In the past three days the area has begun to swell and become very hot. You call the attending physician immediately because you know that this is a serious condition.

The patient is sent straight to surgery where the wound is debrided. Gram-positive cocci growing in chains are recovered from the wound. She is transferred to intensive care and put on high-dose intravenous antibiotics for the next 18 hours, but the next evening her leg is amputated below the knee. She remains in the hospital for two months following surgery and requires long-term antibiotic therapy and multiple skin grafts on her upper leg.

  1. What condition did this patient have? What organism caused it? Provide your rationale. (5 pts)
  2. Why was amputation the best solution for the infection in this case? (3 pts)
  3. How is the organism transmitted? How might the patient have contracted it? (2 pts)
  4. If the organism gets into blood, what other condition would doctors become concerned about? What virulence factors contribute to this condition – explain their mechanism of action and how it contributes to the disease condition. (4 pts)

You are an EMT and are called to the home of Kevin, a 13 week old boy who has become listless and is having trouble breathing. The parents reported that Kevin used to smile, but lately he has not smiled, nor has he had other noticeable facial expressions in the last two days. Kevin’s eyes are open when you arrive, but he does not seem to be focusing. You place your outstretched finger under his fingers and he fails to grasp it. You lift his foot and it drops back to the mattress. The parents report that he has not had a bowel movement in three to four days.

  1. What is your diagnosis (disease name and causative agent), based on Kevin’s symptoms and why? (5 pts)
  2. If this is indeed the case, do you start treatment here at Kevin’s home, or should you transport him to the local hospital? Why? (2 pts)
  3. What should be administered to Kevin at the earliest opportunity and why? (2 pts)
  4. How do babies acquire this condition? (2 pts)
  5. Although the diagnosis should be confirmed with laboratory tests, the tests should probably not be performed in the local hospital lab. Why not? (2 pts)
  6. What virulence factor is solely responsible for the symptoms Kevin is experiencing? Explain in specific detail the mechanism of action of this virulence factor. (4 pts)
  7. What is a related virulence factor, made by a related organism, which causes the exact opposite symptoms? Explain in specific detail the mechanism of action of this virulence factor and explain how it causes the opposite symptoms. Name the disease caused by this factor and the organism that makes this virulence factor. (5 pts

A phlebotomist goes to the ER to draw blood from an unconscious, badly injured accident victim. The anxious RN tells the phlebotomist to draw a "rainbow" and a blood alcohol level and adds that she will send the doctor's orders to the lab as soon as she gets them. The injured man does not yet have an ID band on his wrist because the phlebotomist was right there when he arrived. How should the phlebotomist identify the patient in order to meet NPSG's? Should the phlebotomist collect one of every color of the tubes on her tray (the "rainbow") or should the phlebotomist wait for the doctor's orders?
