H. DEVELOPMENT HISTORY (according to Erickson, Freud, Piaget, Kohlberg, Fowler)

THEORIST

AGE

SEX

PATIENT DESCRIPTION

Erickson

Fidelity: Identity vs. Role Confusion (Adolescence, 13-19

years)

FEMALE

Existential Question: Who Am I and What Can I Be? The adolescent is newly concerned with how they appear to others. Superego identity is the accrued confidence that the outer sameness and

continuity prepared in the future are matched by the sameness and continuity of one's meaning for oneself, as evidenced in the promise of a career. The ability to settle on a school or occupational identity is

pleasant. In later stages of Adolescence, the child develops a sense of sexual identity. As they make the transition from childhood to adulthood, adolescents ponder the roles they will play in the adult world.

Initially, they are apt to experience some role confusion—mixed ideas and feelings about the specific ways in which they will fit into society—and may experiment with a variety of behaviors and activities (e.g. tinkering

with cars, baby-sitting for neighbors, affiliating with certain political or religious groups). Eventually, Erikson proposed, most adolescents achieve a sense of identity regarding who they are and where their lives

are headed.

Piaget’s theory of cognitive

development

Formal operations (beginning at ages 11-

15)

FEMALE

Cognition reaches its final form. By this stage, the person no longer requires concrete objects to make rational judgments. He or she is

capable of deductive and hypothetical reasoning. His or her ability for abstract thinking is very similar to an adult.

FREUD Genital stage

12 – 20 y/o

FEMALE

The genital stage affords the person the ability to confront and resolve his or her remaining psychosexual childhood conflicts. The ego is established

in the latter. The person’ s concern shifts from primary-drive gratification (instinct) to applying secondary process-thinking to gratify desire symbolically and intellectually by means of friendships, a love

relationship, family and adult responsibilities

V.INTRODUCTION

Page 10: 157934702 case-study-dengue-fever

Dengue Fever is caused by one of the four closely related, but antigenically distinct, virusserotypes Dengue type 1, Dengue t ype 2, Dengue type

3, and Dengue type 4 of the genus Flavivirus and Chikungunya virus. Infection with one of these serotype provides immunity toonly that serotype of life, to

a person living in a Dengue-endemic area can have more than oneDengue infection during their lifetime. Dengue fever through the four different Dengue

serotypesare maintained in the cycle which involves humans and Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictusmosquito through the transmission of the viruses to

humans by the bite of an infected mosquito.The mosquito becomes infected with the Dengue virus when it bites a person who has Dengueand after a

week it can transmit the virus while biting a healthy person. Dengue cannot betransmitted or directly spread from person to person. Aedes aegypti is

the most common aedesspecie which is a domestic, day-biting mosquito that prefers to feed on humans.

INTUBATION PERIOD: Uncertain. Probably 6 days to 10 days

PERIOD OF COMMUNICABILITY: Unknown. Presumed to be on the 1st week of illness when virus is still present in the blood

CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS:

First 4 days:

>febrile or invasive stage --- starts abruptly as high fever, abdominal pain and headache; later flushing which may be accompanied by vomiting,

conjunctival infection and epistaxis

4th to 7th day:

>toxic or hemorrhagic stage --- lowering of temperature, severe abdominal pain, vomiting and frequent bleeding from GIT in the form of melena;

unstable BP, narrow pulse pressure and shock; death may occur; vasomotor collapse

7th to 10th day:

>convalescent or recovery stage --- generalized flushing with intervening areas of blanching appetite regained and blood pressure already

stable

MODE OF TRANSMISSION:

Dengue viruses are transmitted to humans through the infective bites of female Aedesmosquito. Mosquitoes generally acquire vi rus while

feeding on the blood of an infected person. After virus incubation of 8-10 days, an infected mosquito is capable, during probing and blood feeding of

transmitting the virus to susceptible individuals for the rest of its life. Infected female

mosquitoes may also transmit the virus to their offspring by transovarial (via the eggs)transmission.

Humans are the main amplifying host of the virus. The virus circulates in the blood of infected humans for two to seven days, at approximately

the same time as they have fever. Aedesmosquito may have acquired the virus when they fed on an individual during this period. Dengue cannot be

transmitted through person to person mode.

CLASSIFICATION:

1. Severe, frank type

Page 11: 157934702 case-study-dengue-fever

>flushing, sudden high fever, severe hemorrhage, followed by sudden drop of temperature, shock and terminating in recovery or death

2. Moderate

>with high fever but less hemorrhage, no shock present

3. Mild

>with slight fever, with or without petichial hemorrhage but epidemiologically related to typical cases usually discovered in the course of invest or

typical cases

GRADING THE SEVERITY OF DENGUE FEVER:

Grade 1:

>fever

>non-specific constitutional symptoms such as anorexia, vomiting and abdominal pain

>absence of spontaneous bleeding>positive tourniquet test

Grade 2:

>signs and symptoms of Grade 1: plus

>presence of spontaneous bleeding: mucocutaneous, gastrointestinal

Grade 3:

>signs and symptoms of Grade 2 with more severe bleeding: plus>evidence of circulatory failure: cold, clammy skin, irritability,

weak tocompressible pulses, narrowing of pulse pressure to 20 mmhg or less, coldextremities, mental confusion

Grade 4:

>signs and symptoms of Grade 3, declared shock, massive bleeding, pulse lessand arterial blood Pressure = 1 mmhg (Dengue Syndrome/DS)

SUSCEPTABILITY, RESISTANCE, AND OCCURRENCE:

>all persons are susceptible

>both sexes are equally affected>age groups predominantly affected are the pre-school age and school age>adults and infants are not

exempted

>peak age affected: 5-9 years old

DF is sporadic throughout the year. Epidemic usually occurs during rainy seasons (June – November). Peak months are September – October. It occurs

wherever vector mosquito exists.

DIAGNOSTIC TEST:

Tourniquet tes

>Inflate the blood pressure cuff on the upper arm to a point midway between thesystolic and diastolic pressure for 5 minutes.

>Release cuff and make an imaginary 2.5 cm square or 1 inch square just belowthe cuff, at the antecubital fossa.

>Count the number of petechiae inside the box. A test is positive when 20 or more petechiae per suare are observed.

Dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF), a potentially lethal complication, was firstrecognized in the 1950s during the dengue epidemics in the

Philippines and Thailand, but todayDHF affects most Asian countries and has become a leading cause of hospitalization and deathamong children in

several of them.

VI. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

The Immune System

A second line of defense is housedwithin the body: a finely tuned

immunesystem that recognizes and destroysforeign substances and

organisms thatenter the body. The immune system

candistinguish between the body's owntissues and outside substances c

alledantigens. This allows cells of theimmune army to identify and destro

yonly those enemy antigens. The abilityto identify an antigen also permits

theimmune system to "remember" antigensthe body has been exposed

to in thepast; so that the body can mount abetter and faster immune

response thenext time any of these antigens appear.The immune system

also includes

other proteins and chemicals that assistantibodies and T cells in their wor

k.Among them are chemicals that alertphagocytes to the site of the

infection.The complement system, a group of proteins that normally float

freely in the blood, move toward infections, where theycombine

to help destroy microorganisms and foreign

particles. They do this bychanging the surface of bacteria or other

microorganisms, causing them to die.

Medical Diagnosis

T/C Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever/ Pleural Effusion, T/C Liver Pathology

Definition

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever -

is a severe, potentially deadly infection spread by certain species of mosquitoes (Aedesaegypti).

Pleural Effusion -

is excess fluid that accumulates in the pleural cavity, the fluid-filled space that surrounds the lungs.Excessive amounts of such fluid can impair breathing

by limiting the expansion of the lungs during inhalation.

Liver Pathology –

a condition characterized by any liver diseases or condition
