[Solved]: A 25 year old female presents to her family doctor…

A 25 year old female presents to her family doctor with complaints of a sore throat, cough productive of thick sputum, and a subjective feeling of chills. She states that her symptoms began approximately 3 nights ago after a night of heavy drinking with her friends. She states that her sputum is thick and whitish and that, despite drinking orange juice and chamomile tea, her symptoms have not yet improved. Given her presentation at this time, which of the following is most correct? Her innate immune system is likely releasing cytokines such as CD28 which allow the innate immune system to demonstrate memory. She should be checked for signs and symptoms of delirium tremens given the history of heavy alcohol abuse and given intravenous thiamine immediately. Her quantitative levels of CD28 are likely decreased. Given the time frame of 3 days, her adaptive immune system is most likely beginning to become more active. IL-1 is most likely decreased in this patient, resulting in fever and chills.
