Clinical Case Study

Four generations of the DOE family live in the southeastern United States:  72 -year old grandmother Nancy, 44-year old father Chad, Chad's oldest daughter, Gina, 23 years old, and Gina's 18 month-old son Joseph.  As a whole, the family has had no previous significant medical history, yet interfaces with their primary care physician and medical specialists throughout their lifespan for various conditions.

While laboratory analysis often involved the collection of routine blood and urine specimens, the cases in this chapter will highlight times when they needed other body fluids collected for diagnostic purposes.
