How does pathogen infection result in the occurrence of fevers in a host? Pyrogens produced by the pathogen alter the host thermostat. The interaction between PAMPs and PRPs causes a respiratory burst. The pathogens break down the host's hypothalmus. Edema caused by the pathogen raises the body temperature.

Describe the two diseases botulism and tetanus in terms of their causes, infection routes, effects on the person, prevention and treatment. How are the two similar and different from most other pathogens that affect the nervous system?
The signs and symptoms of botulism are caused by: Inflammation of the brain (encephalitis) caused by Clostridium botulinum Clostridium botulinum infecting and destroying peripheral nerve cells Clostridium botulinum exotoxin stimulating (turning on) the relaxation pathway in the brain None of the other four answers are correct Clostridium botulinum infecting and destroying central nervous system cells
Increase in body temperature should increase the rate of metabolism of microbes instead of killing them. How fever helps our bodies fight infection? Please be specific in details.

Diphtheria (diphtheria) spread through direct contact and aerosolized expulsions. C. diphtheriae have 3 substrains generation times - gravis (60 minutes), intermedius (100 minutes), and mitis (180 minutes). The gravis substrain is the most virulent as the toxic effects of diphtheria occur the fastest. Explain this in the terms of C. diphtheriae’s requirement for iron.
Match the chemical mediators with their specific function: sebum oleic acid lactate cerumen antimicrobial peptides Word Banks - cause cellular damage of microorganisms - decreases the pH of the vagina - creates a slightly acidic skin surface - prevents pathogen entry into the hair follicles and sweat glands - creates acidic earwax

A 27 years old female, returned from Africa 3 weeks ago, got intermittent high fever for 1 week with chills and shivering, sweating after temperature drop to normal, then symptoms resolved. The cycle was repeated after 6 to 7 hours. She did not get better after taking chloroquine for 3 days. Physical examination: pulse 92 beats/min, blood pressure 110/60mmHg, poor mental state, slightly pale conjunctiva, normal breath sounds, heart rate 92/min, soft abdomen, no tenderness or rebound tenderness, normal liver but splenomegaly. Laboratory tests: blood: WBC 7.5×109/L, neutrophils 75%, lymphocytes 25%, hemoglobin 100g / L; Urinalysis: urobilinogen (-), bilirubin(±). (1) What’s the most likely diagnosis?
