measles, mumps, and Herpes
prokaryotes, metakaryotes, and eukaryotes
viruses, bacteria, and fungi

In spite of all these leading questions about infections and fever, it was determined that Mr. X's fever did not
indicate an underlying cause for his death and donor eligibility screening and testing did not reveal any
contraindications to transplantation. The patient's family agreed to organ donation. Lungs, kidneys, and liver
were therefore recovered. The liver and kidneys were transplanted into three recipients on May 4 at a
transplant center in Texas. The liver recipient was a man with end-stage liver disease. He did well immediately
after transplantation and was discharged home on postoperative day 5. Twenty-one days after transplant, the
patient was readmitted with tremors, lethargy, and anorexia. The patient's neurologic status deteriorated
rapidly during the next 24 hours and he became febrile; he required intubation and critical care support. A
lumbar puncture indicated a mild lymphocytic pleocytosis (25 white blood cells/mm3) and a mildly elevated
protein .
Question 4 - Single Best Answer

Whether there is one or not
Whether the cause is viral or bacterial
Both of the above are true
This man's spinal fluid profile indicates a possible viral infection. (Had he had a bacterial meningitis there
would have been PMN's in his spinal fluid.) His neurologic status continued to deteriorate. Six days after
admission, an MRI indicated diffuse encephalitis. The patient subsequently died .
Question 5 - Single Best Answer
Was the man's death a likely failure of his liver transplant
Yes
No
Question 6 - Single Best Answer
Was his death likely due to infection of the wound
Yes
No
Question 7 - Single Best Answer
Could he have become infected with a virus directly from the transplanted organ
Yes
No
We know so far that all three patients that received organs from Mr. X died of a probable virus infection (see
response to correct answer of previous question). Now we would like to know the exact cause .
Question 8 - Single Best Answer
Why is it important to diagnose a disease
Prognosis
Treatment
Epidemiology
all of the above
Now, before talking about exact causes we need to think a little bit about how viruses are classified .

In all the three patients that had received organs from Mr. X, histopathologic examination of central nervous
system tissues revealed an encephalitis with viral inclusions suggestive of Negri bodies; the diagnosis of
rabies in all three recipients was confirmed by immunohistochemical testing and by the detection of rabies
virus antigen in fixed brain tissue by direct fluorescent antibody tests (Fig 1). Electron microscopy of CNS
tissue of one of the renal transplant recipients also identified characteristic rhabdovirus inclusions and viral
particles. (Fig 2 ( .

D) chronic Hepatitis B
E) all of the above
Generally, hepatitis is a self-limiting disease, although some people with Hepatitis B do become chronic
carriers. They are not sick, but are a major source for the spread of the virus. Mr. Livermore's jaundice
gradually disappeared over the next two months. He regained his appetite and began to feel better. His liver
enzyme levels returned to normal. He was cultured for gonorrhea and a serum test for syphilis and HIV were
done -- all were negative. Four of Mr. Livermore's sexual partners were immunized, as was his wife. Mr.
livermore and his wife went to counseling as she was very unhappy with his life style, but they were divorced
within a year .
