Multiple Choice Questions 93. The patient has a staphylococcal infection of the blood, a septicemia--very serious and possibly deadly. As the doctor, you would like to prescribe a relatively non-toxic and inexpensive drug out of the cephalosporin family. However, if the patient harbors a strain of Staphylococcus that is resistant to a variety of antibiotics, you would prefer to use vancomycin-- which is highly effective against Staphylococcus. Which of the following explains why the cephalosporin drug is preferred for use over the vancomycin? A. You would rather give an inexpensive drug to save the family money. B. You really do not know that much about vancomycin, so you would rather go with a drug that you can find out more about. C. Vancomycin is very toxic, and the Staphylococcus strain could become resistant leaving no back-up drugs with which to treat the infection. D. Vancomycin is one of the most selectively toxic drugs there is, so you would prefer one that has a more broad-spectrum effect.

95. Alexander Fleming had been running tests using Staphylococcus, and left some plates out to incubate. Evidently, after returning to his lab after the weekend, he found that Penicillium mold was growing on his agar plates containing the growth of Staphylococcus. Looking more closely, he found a large, clear area around the mold colony where Staphylococcus colonies did not grow. Given this situation, a valid hypothesis would be that: A. The Staphylococcus was being inhibited by the Penicillium mold. B. The Penicillium mold was being killed by the Staphylococcus. C. The bacteriological medium being used in the plates was somehow inhibitory to the Staphylococcus growth. D. The room temperature incubation was inhibitory to the growth of Staphylococcus.

68. John, a Peace Corps worker in the country of Mali in Africa, was in a car accident while traveling through a rural area. He was treated at a tiny rural hospital, and due to his loss of blood required a transfusion. John is B- blood type and has never received a transfusion before. Which statement is correct regarding this scenario? A. He can safely receive O- blood even though he makes anti-A antibodies. B. He can be give types O or B, no matter whether Rh- or Rh+. At this point in time, he does not have anti-Rh antibody. O has no antigens on the blood cells, so he is also safe to receive that type in addition to his own B type. C. He can be given A+ blood type, in addition to B+. Rh- means that he makes no antibody to Rh. D. The preferred blood type to give John, in addition to his own B type blood, would be AB. Both types of blood have the B antigen on the cells, so they would correspond to his own antigens. As for Rh, he can receive only Rh- blood since he would have a reaction against Rh+.

69. You have a dermatitis related to a particular material in your socks. Your feet are covered with a really itchy rash, which has developed blisters over the last day or so. You had first worn them 2 to 3 days ago, and you did not launder them after buying them at the store. Finding some anti-histamine medication in your bathroom cabinet, you decide to take it to relieve the itching rash believing: A. The rash will go away because the anti-histamine neutralizes the histamine chemicals coming from mast cells in your skin. B. The anti-histamine will make the rash worse. The anti-histamine chemical in the medication reacts with chemicals release by the lymphocytes in your skin, creating a much worse reaction. C. The anti-histamine will have no effect on the rash because histamine is not the chemical mediator in this hypersensitivity. D. The anti-histamine will have no effect because once a type I hypersensitivity kicks in, it will last for a few days.

Multiple Choice Questions 71. You were out in the garage going through boxes when you were bitten by an a spider. You tell the doctor that the spider was tiny and black, causing the doctor to think perhaps that it was a black widow spider The doctor gives you an injection of antibody to the spider venom to give you immediate protection. The antibody is produced in horses by injecting them with small doses of the spider venom, causing the horse's immune system to make large amounts of specific antibody to the antigen. The horse serum is then purified before being given to humans. A week later, you notice a red rash spreading away from the injection spot, where the doctor gave you the anti-venom shot. A few days later, the rash has spread and swelling in also present. You have joint pain as well as sore muscles all over your body. The lymph nodes in the armpit are swollen and painful.

73. Many men make antibodies to sperm, resulting in destruction of sperm to the point of sterility. What would be the likely origin of this autoimmune disease? A. Since sperm are not made until after puberty, the immune system cannot scan the antigens on the sperm for immune tolerance. After sperm are made and the immune system sees them, they are recognized as foreign. B. Antigens on sperm cells are similar to antigens on a variety of bacteria, like Streptococcus. After a strep throat, caused by Streptococcus, the immune system produces antibodies to streptococcal antigens, which then cross react with sperm antigens, destroying them. C. T helper cells erroneously identify sperm cells as foreign invaders, triggering the T cytotoxic cells to start killing sperm. D. These antibodies are produced as a result of mutations in T lymphocytes, causing them to make large amounts of antibody.

72. Having had unprotected sex with a guy you met at a party over the weekend, you are now feeling very apprehensive and worried about what you might have been exposed to during this time. A week and a half later, you are still concerned and talk to your doctor about getting an HIV test. What does your doctor say to you? A. The antibody that would be produced by your immune system in respone to HIV exposure has not been produced yet, so a test will come back negative. Wait for a couple more weeks until being test. B. It is not likely that you picked up HIV since the transmission from men to women is far lower than transmission from men to men. Therefore, you are pretty safe. C. The antibiotics that you have been taking for a urinary tract infection will also destroy the HIV that you might have been exposed to, so no worries about an infection. D. You have a really strong immune system, considering that you have never had any kind of infection before. So it would seem that you cannot be infected by HIV.

66. There is a controversy over young teenage girls receiving the HPV vaccine. Many parents think that giving this vaccine somehow condones having sex at a young age. On the other hand, there are parents who do not want their kids to pick up STIs, if possible. Why is the vaccine recommended for 11-12 year old girls? Why not give the vaccine to young adult women who are just becoming sexually active? A. The immune system is strongest in pre-teen girls, so it is best to give the vaccine very early in life. B. Very young women tend to get cancer from HPV, whereas women who are older get warts from HPV. C. The vaccine is cheaper for young girls since the dosage of virus in the vaccine is far less than that given for older women. D. Once the young woman becomes infected with HPV, the vaccine gets into cells. It is then too late to vaccine, in order to turn on the immune system.
