Task 21
Patient S., 36 years old, turned to the therapist on 16.04 with complaints of sore throat when swallowing, fever up to 38.6 ° C and moderate headache .
Data from the anamnesis of the disease: fell ill on 14.04, when a sore throat appeared, with an increase in intensity over time ; in the morning of 15.04, when examining the oropharynx with the help of a mirror, the patient saw a plaque on the tonsils ; rinsing with sodium chloride solution did not bring any improvement; 04.16 in the morning the patient discovered a swelling under the lower jaw on the right and consulted a doctor .
The doctor noted the patient’s moderate condition, pallor of the face, the presence of a pasty swelling of the neck to its middle (the skin above the surface of the edema of the usual color), enlarged and slightly painful submandibular lymph nodes on the right . Examination of the oropharynx revealed a purplish-cyanotic coloration of the mucous membrane , a sharp swelling of the right tonsil and the presence of a continuous coating of a dirty gray color on it, passing to the soft palate, uvula and right arch; when trying to remove plaque with a spatula, the mucous membrane was bleeding . Breathing is not difficult, the voice is normal. Tachycardia (100 beats per minute), blood pressure - 170/90 mm Hg. Art.
The task
1. Formulate a clinical diagnosis.
2. Provide a pathogenetic rationale for the clinical syndrome complex.
3. Make a differential diagnostic algorithm.
4. What are the principles of etiotropic therapy for this disease?

A

1.Diagnosis. Diphtheria of the oropharynx, toxic, grade I, moderate course
2.provide a rationale for the clinical syndrome : entrance gates are usually mucous membranes of the oropharynx ( microbes use mucus as a habitat ), nose, larynx, less often eyes, genitals, and skin. The pathogen is fixed at the site of introduction, and multiplies there, releasing exotoxin. Pathological changes in the patient’s body - intoxication, local inflammatory process, early and late complications - are caused by the damaging effect of the toxin, which consists in blocking protein synthesis by the cell.

Fibrinogen, under the influence of thrombokinase released from necrotic tissue, coagulates and turns into fibrin . This is how a fibrinous film is formed, which is the most characteristic sign of diphtheria. Those areas of integumentary tissues that have a stratified epithelium (oropharynx) are covered with a hard-to-remove film .

Regional lymph nodes are involved in the process , they increase due to sharp plethora, edema and proliferation of cellular, mainly reticuloendothelial, elements . This edema is due to serous inflammation with numerous cellular infiltrates, and the general toxic effect is due to toxin entering the blood .
3: Difiagnosis with angina unlike sore throat, swelling of the tonsils and the entire palate is more extensive With angina, redness and plaque do not go beyond the boundaries of the amygdala, and with diphtheria, they spread far beyond its limits (on the palate, tongue).
The color of plaque in angina is yellowish, and in diphtheria it is white with a grayish-dirty tinge . With angina, deposits are superficial and when examining the pharynx with a spoon, they can be easily removed from tonsils. In diphtheria, the plaque adheres firmly to the tonsils and is removed with difficulty with a spoon, leaving behind a bleeding surface
*Infectious mononucleosis : Pharyngeal diphtheria can be mistakenly suspected in cases of infectious mononucleosis. Severe consequences occur when pharyngeal diphtheria is mistaken for infectious mononucleosis and, therefore, appropriate treatment is not carried out.
4: Treatment
* Hospitalization and isolation. Strict bed regime.
* Antitoxic antidift serum, neutralizes diphthyria toxin, circulation in the blood, is administered immediately, intramuscularly or intravenously
* In case of medium and heavy AB penicillins, cephalosporins 5-8 days.
* Carry out detoxification therapy with crystalloid and colloidal solutions intravenously (polyionic solutions, glucose-potassium mixture with the addition of insulin, rheopolyglucin, fresh frozen plasma).
* In severe cases, glucocorticoids are added to the injected solutions (prednisolone at a dose of 2-5 mg / kg).
* Toxic diphtheria of II and III degrees, hypertoxic form and severe combined forms of the disease are indications for plasmapheresis.
Complications
*Av block (arrhythmias)
*Myocarditis
*Shock
*Degeneration of myelin sheat
*renal failure

Task 27
Patient A., 24 years old, called an ambulance doctor on 21.01 due to the presence of weakness, a feeling of dry mouth, “fog”, blurred contours of objects in front of the eyes and their double vision, difficulty in swallowing food and saliva, hoarseness, headache and dizziness.
She fell ill acutely in the evening of 20.01, when there was bloating and, almost simultaneously, the above symptoms. Over the next day, the condition continued to deteriorate.
Epidemiological data: on 20.01 in the afternoon I was visiting, where I ate salted mushrooms and home-made juices; one of the guests , K., 36 years old, has already been hospitalized with similar manifestations of the disease.
Objectively: a state of moderate severity, active. The face is pale. In the lungs - no pathological changes. Respiration rate is 18-28 per minute, heart sounds are muffled. Tongue dry, overlaid with white-yellow bloom. The abdomen is soft and painless. I remembered that in the evening of 20.01 there were loose single stools and abdominal pains of a diffuse nature .

The task
1. Prospective diagnosis?
2. Provide a pathogenetic rationale for the clinical syndrome complex.
3. Assign a patient examination plan.
4. Medical tactics?

A

1.diagnosis: Botulism, moderate severity.
2.Rationale and clinical syndrome: The source is soil, animals, birds, people .. the fur was fecal-shouted. Infection with the use of spore-infected products: canned food - mushrooms, vegetables, etc. acute Botulism infectious disease, associated with the use of food, contains the toxin Clastridium botulinum

Syndromes: paralytic, gastrointestinal, intox . The beginning of the period: gastroenteric ( epigastric pain, cramping, a single vomiting is possible , stool looseness No increase in tempera, there is DRY of the oral mucosa.

Ocular variant : the appearance of fog in front of the eyes, flies, parity is lost, Then ogre movement of the eye until paresis of the gaze, ptosis, strabismus, vertic nystagmus, diplopia, mydriasis Then, swallowing and speech disorders, dysphonia (first hoarseness, decreased temperature due to dry mucus; then dysarthria due to disturbed movement of the tongue-nasal voice, due to paresis) Palatine curtains - full aphonia, paresis of the vocal cords), dysphagia. Later, the defeat of the CVS and DS. Expanded boundaries of heart dullness, deafness, thirst, abdominal distension, constipation, paresis and paralysis of muscles, dyspnea

PATHOGENETIC JUSTIFICATION OF syndrome
* ophthalmoplegic and bulbar symp. Fog before the eyes, blurred vision, double vision - due to impaired transmission of nerve impulses and paresis of the circulatory muscles and nar-e accommodation . The defeat of the glosopharyngial muscles was due to the hoarseness of the voice, swallowing. Bloating, abdominal pains are caused by intestinal paresis.
3.Assign patients examination plan
* Neutralization reaction in mice (use 4 mice within 4 days injecting the mouse with the toxin obtained from the canned food if mouse dies then it’s confirmed, Laboratory confirmation is done by demonstrating the presence of toxin in serum, stool, or food, or by culturing C. botulinum from stool, a wound or food.
* ELISA, PCR.
4 . Medical tactics :
* Botulism is a rare but serious illness caused by a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. The treatment plan for botulism typically involves hospitalization and supportive care, as well as administration of antitoxin and antibiotics. Here are some of the key components of the treatment plan:

  1. Hospitalization: Patients with botulism are typically hospitalized and closely monitored. In some cases, they may require admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) to receive specialized care.
  2. Antitoxin: The antitoxin is a medication that can help neutralize the botulinum toxin in the body. It is administered as soon as possible after diagnosis to prevent further absorption of the toxin. The antitoxin is most effective if given early in the course of the illness, so prompt diagnosis and treatment is essential.
  3. Antibiotics: Antibiotics may be given to treat any bacterial infection that may be present, as well as to prevent secondary infections.
  4. Respiratory support: Botulism can cause respiratory failure, so patients may require mechanical ventilation to help them breathe.
  5. Feeding support: Patients with botulism may experience difficulty swallowing and require feeding support, such as a feeding tube.
  6. Follow-up care: Patients with botulism may require ongoing care and monitoring after they leave the hospital, including physical therapy to help regain muscle strength and function.

Overall, the treatment plan for botulism is designed to address the underlying toxin and provide supportive care to help the patient recover. With prompt diagnosis and treatment, most patients with botulism recover fully.
* Hospitalization, gastric lavage with a thick probe 9 for the first 2 days of illness) and a siphon enema. (5% p-rum Na hydrogencarbonate)
* Treatment: + monovalent p / botulinum sera A, B, E, if the type is not known polyvalent syv (10 thousand IU A and B and 5tys E) is introduced into / in or / m Regardless from the strand,
* therapeutic dose is injected diluted in 200 ml of isotone , under the cover of prednisolone, before the introduction, a test is carried out according to Bezreko, first a reconnaissance in 100r 0.1 ml intradermally, we wait 20 minutes (infiltration, increase by that),
* For oxygen and vegetative situation give - chloramphenicol and tetracyclines ; detox; To fight against respiratory diseases: HBO, mechanical ventilation (with ↓ VC up to 30%, shortness of breath> 40). There is an anti-botulism plasma and an immunoglobulin

The presence of icteric sclera and skin, yellow tongue coating, and dark urine indicate jaundice syndrome. The liver is enlarged and painful on palpation, further supporting the diagnosis of acute hepatitis.
  2. Plan of examination:
    - Blood tests: Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc), hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), bilirubin levels, complete blood count (CBC)
    - Imaging: Abdominal ultrasound to assess liver and spleen size and rule out other causes of jaundice
    - Viral load testing for hepatitis B to assess the severity of the infection and guide treatment decisions
  3. Differential diagnosis:
    Infectious diseases with jaundice syndrome:
    - Hepatitis A
    - Hepatitis C
    - Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)
    - Cytomegalovirus (CMV)

Non-infectious diseases with jaundice syndrome:
- Alcoholic liver disease
- Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
- Drug-induced liver injury
- Autoimmune hepatitis

  1. Treatment plan:
    - Supportive care with bed rest, adequate hydration, and a balanced diet
    - Antiviral therapy with entecavir 0.5mg
    1mg or tenofovir to suppress viral replication and prevent chronic hepatitis B
    - Pain management with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or acetaminophen
    - Monitoring of liver function tests and viral load
    - Referral to a specialist for further management and follow-up, including vaccination for hepatitis A and B to prevent future infections.

*Treatment : - if complications.

Erysipelas is a type of bacterial skin infection that is usually caused by Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria. The treatment plan for erysipelas typically involves a combination of antibiotics and supportive care. Here are some of the key components of the treatment plan:

  1. Antibiotics: The first line of treatment for erysipelas is usually antibiotics. Penicillin V 500mg 4 times a day is the preferred antibiotic, but other options may include cephalosporins, macrolides, or fluoroquinolones. The duration of treatment typically lasts for 7-10 days, but may be extended if the infection is severe or if the patient has underlying medical conditions.
  2. Pain relief: Erysipelas can be painful, so pain relief measures may be necessary. Over-the-counter pain medications, such as acetaminophen 500-1000mg 2 times a day or ibuprofen, may be recommended. In severe cases, prescription pain medications may be necessary.
  3. Rest and hydration: Rest and hydration are important to help the body fight off the infection. Patients are advised to rest and drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated.
  4. Wound care: If the erysipelas infection has caused an open wound, wound care may be necessary. This may include cleaning the wound, applying topical antibiotics, and covering the wound with a sterile bandage.
  5. Follow-up care: Patients with erysipelas should follow up with their healthcare provider to ensure that the infection has been successfully treated. If the infection does not improve or if it worsens, further testing or treatment may be necessary.

Overall, the treatment plan for erysipelas is designed to address the underlying infection and provide supportive care to help the patient recover. With prompt and appropriate treatment, most cases of erysipelas can be successfully treated.

NSAIDs (no more than 3-5 days). Local treatment only in case of bullous forms (Vishnevsky is not allowed, you cannot bandage, you need a bandage desenf, 3-4 days reparative ointment

4.possible complications
* local : abscess, phlegmon, skin necrosis, ulcers, bullae pustulization, phlebitis, thrombophlebitis.

An objective examination revealed hyperhidrosis , dense sensitive nodules up to 1 cm in the subcutaneous tissue of the lumbosacral region, an increase in the submandibular, axillary and inguinal lymph nodes to the size of a bean, hepato- and splenomegaly . There are no objective changes in the joints.
The task
1. Formulate the clinical diagnosis and provide its rationale.
2. Assign a specific research plan.
3. Make a plan to treat the patient in accordance with the standards of care for the disease.
4. Indicate the possible outcomes of the infectious process.

A

1.Diagnosis: Acute brucellosis (less than 6 months), moderate severity (temperament from 38 to 39.5).

  1. The clinical diagnosis is likely to be brucellosis, based on the patient’s occupation, symptoms, and examination findings. The presence of hyperhidrosis, subcutaneous nodules, lymphadenopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly are typical features of brucellosis. The prolonged course of the disease and lack of response to ARVI treatment also suggest a bacterial infection.
  2. The specific research plan should include:
    - Blood tests for brucellosis serology (Rose Bengal test, Wright test, ELISA)
    - Blood cultures for Brucella species
    - Imaging studies, such as ultrasound or CT scan of the liver and spleen, to assess organ involvement
    - Joint aspiration and culture, if joint symptoms are present
    - Other tests to rule out other infectious or inflammatory diseases, such as Lyme disease or rheumatoid arthritis.
  3. The plan to treat the patient in accordance with the standards of care for brucellosis may include:
    - Antibiotic therapy with doxycycline and rifampin for a period of 6-8 weeks or Treatment options include doxycycline 100 mg twice a day for 45 days, plus streptomycin 1 g daily for 15 days. The main alternative therapy is doxycycline at 100 mg, twice a day for 45 days, plus rifampicin at 15mg/kg/day (600-900mg) for 45 days.
    - Symptomatic treatment, such as analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs for joint pain
    - Rest and avoidance of strenuous activities during the treatment period
    - Follow-up blood tests to monitor treatment response and prevent relapse
    - Education on preventive measures, such as wearing protective clothing and gloves when handling animals or animal products.
  4. The possible outcomes of brucellosis depend on the severity and duration of the infection, as well as the patient’s immune status. With appropriate antibiotic treatment, most patients recover completely without sequelae. However, complications such as endocarditis, neurobrucellosis, or chronic arthritis may occur in some cases. Relapse may also occur if the treatment is not completed or if the patient is re-exposed to the bacteria.

2.Research plan
* Bacteriology (blood, bone marrow, urine, bile, sputum, CSF, l / u, spleen punctate).
* Biological research (urine, feces, corpses, milk, food products, objects of the external environment)
* Serology (blood): Wright’s RA titer 1: 200; Heddelson’s RA 0.02; RPGA; Coombs ave. Allergological examination: Burne test (intravenous administration of brucellin, accounting after 24-48 hours).
3.Treatment
* Bed rest. Table number Always use combination therapy for Brucellosis 5. Antibacterial: gentamicin i / m 0.5 2 times + rifampicin per os 0.3 3 times + ciprofloxacin i / v 0.4 2 times. Disintox: 400 5% glu + reopolygluck 200 (i / v ). Desensitisation: 10% Ca gluconate 5.0 v / v, spurastin, tavegil, diazolin. UHF, exercise therapy, massage.
4. Outcomes : Often, residual effects are mainly of a functional nature due to immunoallergic restructuring of the body and a disorder of the autonomic NS: sweating, irritability, arthralgia. Sometimes organic changes in the musculoskeletal system (joint deformities due to the proliferation of periarticular tissue). Special Prof. Zhivaya Vakina. - Animal husbandry workers.

The tongue is dry, thickly coated with a white coating (“chalky “), its tremor is expressed . In the right axillary region, a thick, sharply painful, poorly contoured lymph node measuring 3x3 cm is determined , the skin above it is cyanotic. In the lungs - vesicular breathing, no wheezing. Respiratory rate - 22 per minute. Heart sounds are muffled , the rhythm is correct. Pulse - 120 beats per minute. BP - 100/60 mm Hg. Art. The abdomen is soft and painless. The liver and spleen are not enlarged. The symptom of tapping in the lumbar region is negative on both sides. There was no stool on the day of illness. There are no meningeal symptoms.
The patient is agitated, trying to get up, constantly muttering something indistinct.
The task
1. Formulate the clinical diagnosis and provide its rationale.
2. Assign a specific research plan.
3. Make a plan for treating the patient in accordance with the standards of care for the disease.
4. Make a plan of anti-epidemic measures in the focus of this disease.

A

1.Diagnosis: severe bubonic plague
Rationale: epidemiological data shows patient N had flown in from Kazakhstan the night before.
Clinical features also shows According to relatives, N. had flown in from Kazakhstan the night before. In the morning he felt unwell: there was a strong chill followed by fever, a sharp headache and pain in the muscles; body temperature has risen to
39 ° C; at the same time there was pain in the right axillary region . The patient took analgin, but the pain in the armpit continued to intensify, in the evening the condition worsened, nausea joined in, and speech became slurred.
On examination: body temperature - 40.2 ° C. Hyperemia and puffiness of the face, vascular injection of the sclera and conjunctiva, hyperemia of the oropharyngeal mucosa. . The tongue is dry, thickly coated with a white coating (“chalky “), its tremor is expressed . In the right axillary region, a thick, sharply painful, poorly contoured lymph node measuring 3x3 cm is determined , the skin above it is cyanotic. The patient is agitated, trying to get up, constantly muttering something indistinct.

2: Assign research plan
* Blood cultures should be sent together with other appropriate clinical samples, ideally before antibiotics are given.
* Appropriate samples may include bubo aspirates (bubonic plague), sputum (pneumonic plague), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) if meningeal symptoms are present (septicaemic plague).
* Clinical samples should be examined with Gram and Wright-Giemsa or Wayson stains and cultured in broth or on blood agar. Y. pestis appears as gram-negative coccobacilli and as a light-blue bacillus with dark-blue polar bodies on Wright-Giemsa or Wayson stain. This “safety pin” appearance is suggestive, but not pathognomonic, of plague but gives a rapid presumptive diagnosis
3. Treatment .
* Begin appropriate IV therapy as soon as plague is suspected. Gentamicin and fluoroquinolones are typically first-line treatments in the United States. Duration of treatment is 10 to 14 days, or until 2 days after fever subsides. Oral therapy may be substituted once the patient improves.
-Gentamicin: 5 mg/kg once daily, or 2 mg/kg loading dose followed by 1.7 mg/kg every 8 hours
-Levofloxacin 500 mg once daily
4: anti-epidemic measures of this disease
*infection control :patients with suspected cases are immediately sent to laboratory to confirm diagnosis and patients with uncomplicated form can start treatment , patients with pneumonia should be placed in isolation
* wearing protective clothing and equipment against plague such has mask , gloves, boots and face shield
*chemoprophylaxis: antibiotics such as doxycycline 100mg twice daily for 7 days or levofloxacin 500mg daily for 7 days
*vaccination:killed whole cell vaccine (KwC) and live-attenuated vaccine
* environmental control:people living in epidemic regions should wear protective clothing,face masks. Using repellents and keep rodents and fleas from food

Task 39
Patient I., 16 years old, was admitted to the infectious diseases hospital on the 2nd day of illness. Acutely ill : runny nose, headache, severe weakness, chills, fever up to 39.6 ° C; after 12 hours, a rash appeared on the skin of the buttocks; there was epistaxis against the background of a progressive deterioration in general well-being.
The task
1. Formulate the clinical diagnosis (underlying disease, complication).
2. Provide a pathogenetic rationale for the clinical syndrome complex.
3. Assign a specific research plan.
4. Make a treatment plan.

A

1: Diagnosis: Severe meningococcal infection, meningococcaemia. Second-degree toxic shock syn-
drome
2:pathogenetic rationale for clinical syndrome complex
* Pathogenesis of syndromes. At high concentrations of endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide), severe course — ITSH (fulminant form). ITS: 1 stage of massive bacteremia — a lot
endotoxin - hemodynamic disorder (spasm of capillaries, arterioles, dilatation of the venous
basin), damage to the endothelium — increased vascular permeability and capillary dilation; 2
stage of microcirculation disturbance, hypoxia, DIC, metabolic disorder (acidosis); 3 stage acute
adrenal insufficiency (Waterhouse-Friederiksen syndrome - thrombohemorrhagic
adrenal necrosis).
3. Assign a research plan
* Bacterioscopy (blood, cerebrospinal fluid, rash): this is indicative. Bacteriological method: blood, cerebrospinal fluid, rash. Detection of hypertension in cerebrospinal fluid (latex agglutination reaction,
* PCR (90%)).
* Immunology (RPHA): an auxiliary method.
* Antigen detection in CSF Serogroup A, B, C, Y, and W-135 polysaccharide antigen can be detected by latex agglutination in 40% to 95% of patients with meningococcal meningitis.
* Rapid tests are most useful when it is desirable to individually tailor antibiotic therapy or if identification of a meningococcal infection has immediate public health implications, such as the need to provide antibacterial prophylaxis to close contacts.
* Nasopharyngeal cultures Nasopharyngeal cultures are of limited usefulness in routine patient management. The isolation of N. meningitidis from the nasopharynx of a patient with sepsis or meningitis
* Cerebrospinal fluid testing CSF cultures should be considered in patients with signs and symptoms of meningitis. A lumbar puncture (LP) is contraindicated in patients with cardiovascular or respiratory instability, coagulopathy, or infection (including petechial or purpuric lesions) overlying the puncture site.
4.Make a treatment plan
* Hospitalization in the intensive care unit.
* Infusion therapy: crystal: colloids = 3: 1, cryoplasm.
* N. levomycytin succinate 1g 4p / d - as it has a bacteriostatic effect before the elimination of ITS, after ceftriaxone.
* GCS: prednisolone 5-10mg / kg.
* DOXA: 1-2ml 3 r / day / m.
* Correction of acidosis: quartasol, glu-K mixture.
* Lasix 1mg / kg after hemodynamic stabilization.
* Dopamine 1-7mg / kg / min. Ser.d glycosides. Potassium up to 2-3 days. Needs. Plasmapheresis.

Prevention and control Primary prevention Vaccines approved in the US for prevention of meningococcal infections include 2 tetravalent meningococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccines (Menactra® [MenACWY-D] and Menveo® [MenACWY-CRM], both also known as MenACWY
* Immunoprophylaxis • In on-going outbreaks of meningococcal infection caused by vaccine-preventable serogroup A, B, C, Y, and W-135 organisms, immunisation of contacts may prevent secondary cases. The preferred vaccine varies according to the individual’s age and the serotype of the outbreak strain.

** Additional information

  1. Clinical Diagnosis: Rabies Encephalitis. The symptoms of deep, noisy breath with the participation of all the respiratory muscles, clonic and tonic convulsions with light touch and slight noise, spasms of the swallowing muscles when trying to quench thirst, profuse salivation, hyperhidrosis, auditory and visual hallucinations are all characteristic of rabies encephalitis. The bite wounds from the unknown dog 30 days ago suggest that the patient may have contracted the disease from the infected animal.
  2. Specific Diagnostic Methods: The diagnosis of rabies encephalitis can be confirmed by laboratory testing of saliva, cerebrospinal fluid, or brain tissue. The patient’s saliva and cerebrospinal fluid can be tested for the presence of the rabies virus using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and viral isolation. Brain tissue can be tested for the presence of Negri bodies, which are characteristic microscopic structures found in the brain of animals infected with rabies.
  3. Treatment Plan: There is no cure for rabies encephalitis once symptoms have developed, and the disease is almost always fatal. The patient should be hospitalized and given supportive care, including respiratory support, hydration, and treatment of seizures. Pain management and sedation may also be necessary to alleviate the patient’s symptoms. The patient should be isolated to prevent transmission of the disease to others.
  4. Main Preventive Measures: The best way to prevent rabies is to avoid contact with infected animals. Vaccination against rabies is recommended for people who work with animals or who are at high risk of exposure to the virus. If a person is bitten by an animal, prompt wound care and rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) can prevent the development of the disease. PEP consists of a series of injections of rabies vaccine and immunoglobulin. It is important to seek medical attention immediately after a potential exposure to rabies.

  1. The most likely diagnosis for this patient is acute respiratory viral infection (ARVI) or influenza, given the symptoms of headache, cough, nasal congestion, fever, and body aches. The hyperemia and swelling of the oral mucosa, soft palate, and uvula suggest that the patient may also have pharyngitis.
  2. Differential diagnosis for this clinical case includes:
    - Influenza
    - Adenovirus infection
    - Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection
    - Parainfluenza virus infection
    - Coronavirus infection
    - Streptococcal pharyngitis
    - Mononucleosis
    - Acute HIV infection
  3. The treatment strategy for this patient includes symptomatic relief for fever, body aches, and cough, such as acetaminophen and cough suppressants. The patient should also be advised to rest and drink plenty of fluids. Antiviral medications may be considered if the patient is diagnosed with influenza within 48 hours of symptom onset. Antibiotics are not recommended for viral infections such as ARVI or influenza.
  4. Indications for hospitalization of patients with ARVI or influenza include severe respiratory distress, persistent high fever, altered mental status, dehydration, and underlying medical conditions that increase the risk of complications, such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease. In this case, hospitalization is not necessary as the patient’s condition is of moderate severity and there are no indications of severe complications.

**Additional information

  1. Diagnosis: Based on the symptoms, epidemiological history, and physical examination findings, the patient is likely suffering from malaria, specifically Plasmodium falciparum malaria. The symptoms of fever, headache, nausea, and vomiting, along with the cyclical pattern of high fever followed by sweating, are typical of malaria. The enlargement of the liver and spleen and yellowish discoloration of the skin are also common in severe cases of malaria caused by P. falciparum.
  2. Examination algorithm:
    - Take a thorough medical history, including recent travel history.
    - Perform a physical examination, including checking for fever, enlarged liver and spleen, and any signs of anemia or jaundice.
    - Conduct laboratory tests, including a blood smear for malaria parasites, complete blood count, and liver function tests.
    - Consider other diagnostic tests, such as a rapid diagnostic test for malaria, if available.
  3. Principles of etiotropic therapy:
    - The treatment of choice for P. falciparum malaria is artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT), which includes artemether-lumefantrine, artesunate-mefloquine, or artesunate-amodiaquine.
    - Treatment should be started as soon as possible after diagnosis and continued for a full course of treatment, typically 3 days.
    - Patients with severe malaria may require hospitalization and intravenous antimalarial medications, such as quinine or artesunate.
  4. Individual prevention activities:
    - Use insect repellent and wear protective clothing to prevent mosquito bites.
    - Sleep under a mosquito net, preferably one treated with insecticide.
    - Take antimalarial medication as prescribed by a healthcare provider before, during, and after travel to areas with a high risk of malaria transmission.
    - Avoid being outdoors during peak mosquito biting times, typically at dawn and dusk.

    2.specific tests
    * LABORATORY EXAMINATION: THE FECAL LEUKOCYTE EXAMINATION pathogens such as Salmonella is useful for suggesting presence of , Shigella, and amebiasis in a patient with fever and colitic diarrhea. Leukocytes and erythrocytes are not normally seen in stools in the absence of infection or other inflammatory processes. Routine microscopy of fresh stool stained with methylene blue i s a simple screening test to detect invasive bacterial diarrhoea. It shows many polymorphonuclear leukocytes and sometimes erythrocytes in patients with colitis. It is cheap, rapid and easy to perform, even in a peripheral health facility.
    * THE WHITE BLOOD CELL (LEUKOCYTE) BLOOD COUNT in patients with shigellosis often is normal, although leukopenia or leukocytosis may occur.
    * SIGMOIDOSCOPY are unnecessary, unless they are indicated to rule out other conditions. When these procedures are performed in patients with a possibility of having shigellosis, caution is necessary because of the diffuse acute colitis and risk for perforation.

1.Diagnosis: Primary disease: COVID-19, the virus was identified, moderate severity. Underlying con-
dition: type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Rationale: Epidemiological data;she returned by plane from a business trip (Moscow); she did not wear a mask and follow personal hygiene rules regularly during the business trip and based on clinical symptoms she felt shortness of breath and chest congestion,high fever 38.3 degrees,chills ,moderate weakness ,heart rate 96 beats per minute ,respiratory rate is increased 23 normal is 12-16 Atleast , mild hyperemia of the oropharyngeal mucosa is noted and she was not vaccinated against Covid 19 and her SARS-Cov-2 rapid antigen test is positive
2.Research plan
* NAATs, (nucleic acid amplification tests ) such as PCR-based tests, are most often performed in a laboratory. They are typically the most reliable tests for people with or without symptoms. These tests detect viral genetic material, which may stay in your body for up to 90 days after you test positive.
* Antigen tests* are rapid tests which produce results in 15-30 minutes. They are less reliable than NAATs, especially for people who do not have symptoms.
*PCR
* Antibody or serology tests look for antibodies in your blood that fight the virus that causes COVID-19.
* chest x-ray
3. Treatment plan and clinical recommendations
* The goal of therapeutic management for nonhospitalized patients is to prevent progression to severe disease, hospitalization, or death. Several factors affect the selection of the best treatment option for a specific patient.
* Treatment of symptoms includes using over-the-counter antipyretics, analgesics, or antitussives for fever, headache, myalgias, and cough. Patients should be advised to drink fluids regularly to avoid dehydration. Rest is recommended as needed during the acute phase of COVID-19, and ambulation and other forms of activity should be increased according to the patient’s tolerance.
*Drugs recommended include: use of ritonavir-boosted nirmatrelvir in most high-risk, nonhospitalized patients with mild to moderate COVID-19. Ritonavir-boosted nirmatrelvir has high efficacy; has been shown to reduce hospitalization and death when administered to high-risk, unvaccinated, nonhospitalized patients within 5 days of symptom onset;11 and is an oral medication, whereas remdesivir requires intravenous (IV) administration.
* The Panel recommends molnupiravir 150-300 mgas a therapeutic option when the other recommended antiviral treatment options are not available, feasible to use, or clinically appropriate (CIIa)
* remdesivir 200mg is to be used in patients with renal impairment.
* encourage patient to take citrus fruits such as lemon, orange to boost immunity
*low molecular heparin
*corticosteriods if there is some complications
4.Give complication in this clinical case (genesis,diagnostic criteria and monitoring)
*specific complication is Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) When you have acute respiratory failure, your lungs might not pump enough oxygen into your blood or might not take enough carbon dioxide out. Both of these problems can happen at the same time.
Acute respiratory failure has been the leading cause of death for those who have died of COVID-19.
*genesis The pathophysiology of COVID-19 is complex, and the disease may compromise lung, heart, brain, liver, kidney, and of the coagulation system. COVID-19 can result in myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, ventricular arrhythmias, acute coronary syndrome, and shock is due to that and also if you’re older or have another illness such as diabetes or heart disease, you’re more at risk for the serious form of COVID-19.because such diseases already put the body compromised state in terms of immunity
*intensive care strategies for the complications-The initial management of hypoxemia includes conventional oxygen therapy, high-flow nasal canula oxygen, and non-invasive ventilation. For patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation, lung-protective ventilation with low tidal volumes and plateau pressure is recommended.
* Hospitalization should be warranted for patients who develop severe symptoms; however, ICU admission has been reserved for the most severe forms,
* Patients with the severe form of the disease must be closely monitored, since rapidly progression from moderate to severe ARDS may occur. Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure is the most common complication occurring in 60–70% of patients admitted to the ICU)
* To manage these patients, maneuvers that lead to recruitment of collapsed areas are usually applied, such as increased positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), alveolar recruitment maneuvers, and prone position, leading to a reduction in elastance and increased compliance [28]. Prone positioning presents the potential benefit of a relieve of severe hypoxemia due to reduction of overinflated lung areas, promoting alveolar recruitment and decreasing ventilation/perfusion mismatch

Additional information

  1. Clinical diagnosis: The patient has a symptomatic COVID-19 infection with moderate severity, based on the presence of fever, shortness of breath, dry cough, and positive SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Antigen Test. The patient also has a history of recent travel and exposure to the virus, as well as a comorbidity of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
  2. Routing of the patient: The patient should be immediately isolated and transferred to a designated COVID-19 treatment facility for further management and monitoring.
  3. Treatment plan: The patient should receive supportive care and symptomatic treatment, including oxygen therapy to maintain oxygen saturation above 92%, antipyretics for fever, and hydration. The patient’s blood glucose levels should be closely monitored and managed to prevent complications related to diabetes. The patient should also receive antiviral therapy, such as Remdesivir or Favipiravir, as per the current clinical recommendations and treatment protocols. Additionally, the patient should receive prophylactic anticoagulation therapy to prevent thromboembolic events.
  4. Likely complication: The most likely complication in this clinical case is acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which is a severe and potentially life-threatening complication of COVID-19. Diagnostic criteria for ARDS include the presence of hypoxemia, bilateral lung infiltrates, and respiratory failure. The patient should be closely monitored for the development of ARDS and managed in the intensive care unit with mechanical ventilation and other supportive measures as needed.

The tongue is slightly covered with yellow coating, moist. Urine is dark, feces are light-colored.
Complete blood count: leukocytes – 3.0 g / l, ESR – 4 mm / hour. Urinalysis: urobilin ++, bilirubin ++.
2.Name typical changes in the blood biochemistry
* Laboratory findings: increased ALT and AST.ALT is higher than AST.Total bilirubin is increased with direct bilirubin(increased
3.Name markers of this disease
* Markers for hepatitis A virus [HAV immunoglobulin M (IgM) and imunoglobulin G (IgG)]
* specific markers: ALT, AST, GGT, ALP, bilirubin, protein, coagulogram. RIF (AG in feces), ELISA (AG and AT in serum), PCR (HAV RNA - from the initial period within 2-3 weeks). IgM from the incubation period up to 4-8 months.
4: Name the main preventive and epidemic control measures for this infection
*Treatment: Treatment for HAV infection is primarily supportive, including appropriate rest when necessary. There are no specific antiviral therapies available.Once acute infection occurs, management is largely outpatientbased. Rarely, hospitalisation may become nece ssary for volume depletion, coagulopathy, or encephalopathy. If hospitalized, patient should be given a separate room and toilet and contact precautions should be implemented. Patients with prolonged jaundice and cholestatic hepatitis may benefit from a s hort course of rapidly tapered corticosteroids, resulting in improved symptoms and resolution of disease.nausea and vomiting may lead to inadequate fluid intake, patients should be monitored for dehydration. If dehydration occurs, intravenous fluid adminis tration and hospitalization may be necessary. Treatment of hepatic encephalopathy : (500 mg/d), neomycin (4Endotracheal intubation 12 g/day), and rifaximin , metronidazole , neomycin,benzodiazepine , , Oral metronidazole Flumazenil, Lactulose
*preventive measures: Patient should avoid • . Abstaining from alcohol is usually recommended because alcohol has been linked with relapse of jaundice. • Medications such as analgesics (aspirin, paracetamol), antibiotics that might cause liver damage or are metabolized hepatica lly should be avoid or used with caution. • There are also things that people with hepatitis should try to avoid diet due to the effects they may have on the liver. Foods to avoid: Saturated fats found in meat, fast foods, cookies and or limit in their snack products should be avoided. Small amounts of fat and oils are important to store energy, protect body tissues, and transport vitamins round the blood. People with hepatitis should try to consume predominantly unsaturated fats, such as olive oil, and fish oils. Patient should also avoid salt and spicy food . Prevention : improved standards of hygiene and sanitation good hygienic practices provision of clean water hand washing eat only properly cooked food and be careful of uncooked vegetables and shellfish (“boil it, cook it, peel it, or forget it”)

Q

Task 37
Patient Z., 22 years old, was admitted to the infectious disease hospital on the 3rd day she fell ill a few days after a contact with a febrile patient: rhinitis, cough, shivering, fever up to 38.5C and diffuse headache, aggravated in dynamics, appeared; a little later, repeated vomiting and photophobia emerged.
Neurological status: clear consciousness, stiffness of the occipital muscles by 2 cm, positive Ker- nig’s sign D and S, no focal symptoms.
Hemogram: leukocyte count 28.2x109 / l, band neutrophils 11%, segmented neutrophils 68%, eo- sinophils 0%, lymphocytes 15%, monocytes 6%, ESR 24 mm / h.
The results of the cerebrospinal fluid analysis: cloudy, milky white, cytosis 13 g / l (neutrophils 80%, lymphocytes 20%), protein 5.4 g / g, glucose 3.8 mmol / l.
Task.
1. Make a clinical diagnosis and justify it.
2. Make a specific examination plan.
3. Make a treatment plan for the patient in accordance with the standards of medical care for this
disease.
4. Indicate the most probable complication in this clinical situation and provide its diagnostic crite-
ria.

A

1.Diagnosis : Meningococcal infection, meningitis, moderate severity.
Rationale:based on clinical features fever up to 38.5C and diffuse headache, aggravated in dynamics, appeared; a little later, repeated vomiting and photophobia emerged. stiffness of the occipital muscles by 2 cm, positive Ker- nig’s sign D and S, no focal symptoms.
Hemogram: leukocyte count 28.2x109 / l, band neutrophils 11%, segmented neutrophils 68%, eo- sinophils 0%, lymphocytes 15%, monocytes 6%, ESR 24 mm / h. results of the cerebrospinal fluid analysis: cloudy, milky white, cytosis 13 g / l (neutrophils 80%, lymphocytes 20%), protein 5.4 g / g, glucose 3.8 mmol / l.
2. Research plans
* Bacterioscopy (blood, cerebrospinal fluid, rash): this is indicative. Bacteriological method: blood, cerebrospinal fluid, rash. Detection of hypertension in cerebrospinal fluid (latex agglutination
* PCR (90%)). Immunology (RPHA): an auxiliary method.
3. Treatment plan for the patient
* Penicillin 200-300 thousand U / kg: under the control of cerebrospinal fluid (up to 100 cells with a predominance of Lf); ceftriaxone or cefatoxime.
* Disintox (crystal: colloids = 3: 1). Inhalation of 30-40% air mixture. Vasoactive (dopamine up to 10 mg / kg / min; norepinephrine up to 0.5 μg / kg / min).
4.indicate the most probable complications
* The most probable complication, its diagnostic criteria. Bacteria in the subarachnoid space - purulent meningitis / violation of cerebrospinal fluid dynamics - increased ICP (edema swelling of the GM) - wedging of the cerebellum into the occipital opening - compression of the medulla oblongata - death from respiratory paralysis
* Diagnostic criteria: confusion, psycho-mot excitement (then coma), clonic-tonic convulsions, hyperthermia. DS: tachypnea, noisy breathing paralysis, chain-stokes, then respiratory arrest. ССС: takhi, then bradi, again takhi (terminal period), increase in SBP to 140-180 . Vegetative disorders: purple-cyanotic skin of the face, increased sweat and sebum secretion. Death from respiratory arrest, but you can resuscitate for another 10-15 minutes.
** Additional information

  1. Clinical diagnosis: Meningitis, most likely bacterial meningitis, based on the patient’s symptoms (fever, headache, vomiting, photophobia), positive Kernig’s sign, and the results of the cerebrospinal fluid analysis (cloudy, milky white, elevated protein and cytosis with predominantly neutrophils).
  2. Specific examination plan:
    - Blood cultures to identify the causative agent
    - Imaging studies (CT or MRI) to exclude other causes of meningitis and to detect any complications such as abscesses or hydrocephalus
    - Lumbar puncture for repeat cerebrospinal fluid analysis and culture
    - Serological tests for common bacterial and viral pathogens causing meningitis
    - Additional tests based on the suspected causative agent, such as PCR for tuberculosis or cryptococcal antigen testing.
  3. Treatment plan:
    - Empiric antibiotic therapy with a broad-spectrum cephalosporin (such as ceftriaxone) and vancomycin to cover common bacterial pathogens causing meningitis.
    - Supportive care, including antipyretics, fluids, and electrolyte management.
    - Once the causative agent is identified, the antibiotic therapy can be adjusted accordingly.
    - Dexamethasone can be considered as an adjunctive therapy to reduce inflammation and improve outcomes.
  4. Most probable complication: Hydrocephalus, which can occur as a result of obstruction of the flow of cerebrospinal fluid or impaired absorption. Diagnostic criteria include the development of new-onset headache, altered mental status, and imaging studies showing ventricular enlargement. Treatment may involve surgical intervention such as ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement.
