The Assignment (1- to
2-page case study analysis)
Develop a 1- to 2-page case study analysis in
which you:
Explain why you think the patient presented the
symptoms described.
Identify the genes that may be associated with the
development of the disease.
Explain the process of immunosuppression and the effect
it has on body systems.
Scenario 2: A
42-year-old man comes to clinic with chief complaint of pain, redness, and
swelling of his right calf. He states that he had been working in his yard
using a string trimmer when the trimmer slipped and cut his leg. He cleaned the
wound with water from the garden hose and covered the wound with a large
Band-Aid. Several days later, he developed fever to 100.6 F and chills and
noticed that his leg was swollen and red. He comes to the emergency department
for definitive care.
