Terry is a Physician Assistant. She is working under the supervision of Dr. Elizabeth Carroll. Terry trusts Dr. Carroll and knows she is an extremely competent and compassionate doctor. They have been a team for about two years, and it works out perfectly because Terry is a morning person and Dr. Carroll is not. Unless there is a difficult case, Terry makes all the early morning rounds of Dr. Carrollâs patients at the two local hospitals, and then goes home for an early lunch with her kindergartner son. Later, she sees non-critical care patients at Dr. Carrollâs office for a few hours. Unless there is a seriously ill patient, Dr. Carroll will start work a little later in the morning and end her day with the evening rounds at the hospital. This morning, Terry is checking in on a new patient, Mr. Lane, at St. Johnâs Hospital. Mr. Lane has a history of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and Dr. Carroll admitted him yesterday. According to the chart, Mr. Lane had a blood transfusion yesterday afternoon. Dr. Carroll noted on the chart that Mr. Lane was doing well at 7:00 p.m. However, she noted Mr. Lane may need an additional unit of blood if his blood oxygen values did not return to normal ranges soon. The chart indicates that Mr. Lane had just started receiving an additional unit. Terry enters the room and finds Mr. Lane experiencing chills and shortness of breath. Terry quickly takes the patientâs vital signs. She notes that Mr. Laneâs heart rate is high, his blood pressure low, and he has a fever. Mr. Lane is alert and complaining that he feels horrible.

Dan was feeling terrible! He knew he should have worn more sunscreen on that trip to Haiti. Sitting on the plane waiting to be allowed off was torture! He was burning up and felt exhausted. And sitting still so long on the plane had made his ankles and shoulders start to ache too. If only they would let him off the plane! He was beginning to feel nauseous and hoped he didnât vomit all over his fellow passengers.

After they finally let him off the plane he rushed to the bathroom to put some cool water on his face and inspect this horrible sunburn. But it didnât look normal in the mirrorâ¦. His skin was covered in red blotchy spots, especially his chest and all the way up his neck. Maybe he was allergic to something? Can allergies cause this heat (he assumed now it was a fever)? He had to go to the doctor, now. LA General was a short cab ride away.

As the PA on duty you ask Dan a few questions before making some theories about whatâs causing his symptoms. You discover he just got back from Haiti where he visited friends for 2 weeks. His doctor had given him enough doxycycline for the whole trip and he had taken it religiously. His vaccination history included immunizations to typhoid, hepatitis B and tetanus. He also took Bumex. His major complaints were joint pain, nausea, and the growing rash on his trunk. His fever was 101.8. But as you were talking with him you noticed his speech began to slur a bit. This was deeply concerning.

1. How did Danâs innate immune system try to protect him from the infection? (make sure it is specific for this type of attack)
