Micro case 10 • A 66 year old man incurs extensive thermal burns to his skin and undergoes skin grafting procedures in the surgical intensive care unit. Two weeks later, he has increasing respiratory distress. Laboratory studies show hemoglobin of 13.1 g/dL, hematocrit 39.2%, platelet count 222,200/mm3, and WBC count 4520/mm3 with 15% monocytes. A chest radiograph shows extensive bilateral infiltrates with patchy areas of consolidation.
Micro case 11 • A suscipious envelope arrived for sorting at rural post office. The envelope was opened and found to contain white powder. Approximately two days later, the postal worker who handled the letter developed cutaneous boils, which were and 1 to 5 cm in diameter with central necrosis and eschars. He and his wife also developed a mild nonproductive cough with fatigue, myalgia for 72 hours, followed by severe dyspnea, diaphoresis and cyanosis. Temperature of 39.5°C, pulse 105/min, respiration 25/min, and blood pressure 85/45mm Hg. Crackles were heard at the lung bases. A chest xray shows a widened mediastinum and small pleural effusions. WBC count of 13,130/mm3, hemoglobin 13.7g/dL, hematocrit 41.2%, MCV 91 um3, and platelet count 244,000/mm3. Both died despite antibiotic therapy. Several cattle, horses, and sheep on the postal worker's farm also died.
Micro case 13 • A 25 year old man is involved in an accident in which he is ejected from the vehicle.
