CHAPTER 3 – GENETIC BASIS OF DISEASE For this chapter, please review the four diseases that you are responsible for (in Module 1 Study Guide). You will need to know general information within that table. There will be ONE question on the exam on this material.

CHAPTER 9 – INFLAMMATION AND DYSFUNCTIONAL WOUND HEALING 1. Describe a cut with primary intention, secondary intention, and tertiary intention.

CHAPTER 10 – INFECTIOUS DISEASES Fill in the table. For each pathogen indicate if it is bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasite. Then, indicate which BODY SYSTEM will be affected by the pathogen (there may be multiple systems). Look at symptoms. Remember these are the body systems (Wikipedia Page).

Pathogen Bacterial, Viral, fungal,

Parasite? Human Body System(s) affected

Candida

Common Cold

Epstein Barr

Escherichia coli

Haemophiles influenzae

Herpes Simplex

Influenza

Malaria

MMR – Measles, Mumps, Rubella

Pneumonia Infections

Staphylococcal Infections

Streptococcal Infections

Varicella

CHAPTER 11 – DISORDERS OF IMMUNE SYSTEM 1. Define and compare the terms related to immune system – hypersensitivity, autoimmune, and

immunodeficiency. Give an example of each.

pg. 2 of 7

HCR 240 Midterm Study Guide 2. Describe how an HIV infection progresses in the body. What are the complications that can occur if HIV

continues to progress?

3. Case Studies – Read the short patient scenarios and diagnose each patient’s conditions. Include justification or reasons why you think this condition is the immune disorder.

A. Cecilia has a known severe allergic reaction to bee stings. While at a family picnic, a bee stung Cecilia on her right upper extremity. Her husband immediately administered EpiPen injection, while others called for assistance. Cecilia is transported to the emergency department via ambulance. She presents with severe dyspnea, laryngeal swelling, and hypotension. What is the condition? What are your clues?

B. Two days after hiking through the woods with his dogs, Charles noticed a severe rash on his lower legs. He had not been wearing long pants on the hike. Based on the appearance of the rash, he believes he may have contracted poison ivy. What is the condition? What are your clues?

C. Sara, a 51-year-old woman, was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. She had made an appointment to see her physician because she was experiencing chronic low fever, muscle pain, and joint pain. Her physician noted a butterfly-shaped rash on Sara’s face and ordered follow-up tests. Laboratory results revealed a positive anti-nuclear antibodies test, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Follow-up anti- double-strand DNA and anti-Sm antibody tests were positive. What is the condition? What are your clues?

D. Annie, an older woman who works as an accountant, presents to the clinic with the complaint that her hands “really hurt” while entering data into the computer because of the damage to her joints caused by rheumatoid arthritis. Annie’s fingers have a splayed appearance that can understandably make typing difficult. Damage to the joints of the fingers and hand are the result of immune complex deposition in the joint tissues. What is the condition? What are your clues?

CHAPTER 13 – DISORDERS OF THE RED BLOOD CELLS 1. Anemia can come in many different forms. Compare the different types of anemia and how each can be

treated.
