Question 1
pts
A patient with a cough, fever and fatigue is diagnosed with influenza. Which of the following is
the best explanation for the patient s symptoms?
Correct!
Release of cytokines
Release of acute phase reactants
A systemic viremia
Release of bradykinin
The patient’s symptoms are directly related to the inflammatory response which has
been triggered by the influenza infection. The release of cytokines are responsible for
the symptoms experienced by patients infected with influenza. Influenza is not a
systemic infection and remains isolated to the pulmonary cells; therefore, a viremia
does not occur when a person has influenza. Acute phase reactants include ferritin,
platelets, coagulation proteins, c-reactive protein, complement proteins and are
released during times of inflammation but are not responsible for the symptoms.
Bradykinin is released during times of inflammation and causes pain. The patient is not
experiencing any pain.
Question 2
pts
Which example is the best representation of innate immunity?
PPD reaction

, An IgE mediated allergic response
Correct!
Intact mucous membranes
Autoantibodies form against cellular DNA
Intact mucous membranes are an example of innate immunity. The skin and mucous
membranes are the first line of defense against infection. The other options are
examples of adapative immunity.
Question 3
pts
A patient has had active Crohn disease for 1 month. Which abnormality is most consistent with
this scenario?
Decreased platelet counts
Activation of H2 receptors
Correct!
Increased IL-13 levels
