A patient arrives in to a clinic in West Africa after having been bitten by a Tsetse fly and are complaining about swollen lymph nodes on the back of the neck. A blood smear has shown the presence of trypanosomes in the blood. How can this information be used to distinguish which HAT parasite they are infected with? Is this likely an early or late stage of infection? What kind of drug treatment would you recommend?

A vigorous young student has been suffering lately from bacterial infections caused by the opportunistic pathogen (Hafnia alveoli). Analysis of the student's immune status reveals nothing remarkably wrong: the phagocytic index and bacterial killing are both normal, when Staphylococcus aureus is used as the test organism, but not when Streptococcus pneumoniae is used. The latter is normally poorly phagocytosed, and hardly killed anyway.

The student admits having traveled to Rwanda five years ago. Afraid of contracting waterâborne bacterial diseases, the student drank only coke. Your investigation of the case shows that coke sold in Rwanda uses saccharin or cyclamate instead of dextrose as sweetener. Quickly you order a chromosome study of the peripheral blood phagocytes.

Findings: a segment of DNA in the chromosome that codes for NADPH oxidase in macrophage is missing.

Does this explain the studentâs medical problem? How?
