. After extensive work-up, the patient was diagnosed with Invasive aspergillosis.
The Assignment
(1- to 2-page case study analysis-this does not include title page and reference page)
Develop a 1- to 2-page case study analysis in which you:
• Explain why you think the patient presented the symptoms described. (Not a trick question but reflective of a patient on immunosuppressive
drugs and a high-risk employment for exposure to Aspergillosis)
• Identify the genes that may be associated with the development of the disease.
Explain the process of immunosuppression and the effect it has on body systems.
Developing answers to these 3 questions, each question 1-2 paragraphs will bring you to the 2-page expected limit. 3 pages will not lose points but
learning to synthesize points. provide current references (submissions like this would earn 3 primary references) and citations will garner full credit.
