BIO 120 - Immunity and Health DIseases
BIO 120 – HIV/AIDS Case Study
Anatomy (refers to the components of the Immune System)
1. What cell(s) are responding?
The look alike CD-4 T cells that have this virus are responding and fighting and killing the real CD-4 T cells and making copies of them and it makes the body think that these specialized white blood cells are helping to kill infection, where as they are making the disease much worse.
Physiology (refers to how the components of the Immune System normally work together; their function)
2. How are the immune cells involved responding? As a result, what affect (symptoms) is this having on the body?
Health/Medical Consequences
3. What are the short and long term health consequences associated? How is the quality of life affected?
Public Health Issues
4. What are some of the possible economic and/or social effects? For example, prescription costs, public stigma, etc.
Journal Review Assignment
Instructions
Please answer the following questions after reading the Journal Review: Autoimmune Diseases and Vaccinations.
1. Please list the vaccine associated with each of the autoimmune diseases discussed in the journal review. Based on this review, is there a link between the vaccine and autoimmune disease identified?
a. Guillain Barre Syndrome – link with influenza vaccine
2. Did the vaccine increase the risk of the autoimmune disease? If yes, please identify which one(s).
a. tetanus-diphtheria vaccine increased the risk of Guillain Barre Syndrome
b. Multiple Sclerosis increased the risk of Hepatitis B
c. If a vaccine is given before two months and the person has type 1 diabetes
3. Can a vaccine be safely administered to a patient suffering from one of the autoimmune disease discussed? If yes, please identify which one(s).
One of the vaccines that can be given safely is
4. What were some other links (factors) that could be associated with autoimmune diseases? In 3-4 sentences, please provide your feedback on the possible
