(Q. I ) Your patient is a 20-year-old woman with the sudden onset of fever to 104°F and a severe headache. Physical examination reveals nuchal rigidity. You suspect meningitis and do a spinal tap. Gram stain of the spinal fluid reveals many neutrophils and many gram negative diplococci.
1. Of the following bacteria, which one is MOST likely to be the cause?
(A) Haemophilus influenzae
(B) Neisseria meningitidis
(C) Streptococcuspneumoniae
(D) Pseudomonas aeruginosa
2. Additional history reveals that she has had several serious infections with this organism previously. On the basis of this, which one of the following is the MOST likely predisposing factor?
(A) She is HIV antibody-positive
(B) She is defident in CD8-positive T cells
(C) She is deficient in one of the late-acting complement components
(D) She is defident in antigen presentation by her macrophages
(Q. II) A patient with rheumatic fever develops a sore throat from which beta-hemolytic streptococci are cultured. The patient is started on treatment with penicillin, and the sore throat resolves within several days. However, 7 days after initiation of penidllin therapy the patient develops a fever of 103°F, a generalized rash, and proteinuria. This MOST probably resulted from
(A) Recurrence of the rheumatic fever
(B) A different infectious disease
(C) An IgE response to penicillin
(D) An IgG-IgM response to penicillin
(E) A delayed hypersensitivity reaction to penicillin
A kidney biopsy specimen taken from a patient with acute glomerulonephritis and stained with fluorescein-conjugated anti-human IgG antibody would probably show
(A) No fluorescence
(B) Uniform fluorescence of the glomerular basement membrane
(C) Patchy irregular fluorescence of the glomerular basement membrane
(D) Fluorescent B cells
(E) Fluorescent macrophages
(Q. III) A patient with severe asthma gets no relief from antihistamines. The symptoms are MOST likely to be caused by
(A) Interleukin-2
(B) Slow-reacting substance A (leukotrienes)
(C) Serotonin
(D) Bradykinin
(Q. IV) Hypersensitivity to penicillin and hypersensitivity to poison oak are both
(A) Mediated by IgE antibody
(B) Mediated by IgG and IgM antibody
(C) Initiated by haptens
(D) Initiated by Th-2 cells
(Q. V) A recipient of a 2-haplotype MHC-matched kidney from a relative still needs immunosuppression to prevent graft rejection because
(A) Graft-versus-host disease is a problem
(B) Class II MHC antigens will not be matched
(C) Minor histocompatibility antigens will not be matched
(D) Complement components will not be matched
(Q. VI) Bone marrow transplantation in immunocompromised patients presents which major problem?
(A) Potentially lethal graft-versus-host disease
(B) High risk of T-cell leukemia
(C) Inability to use a live donor
(D) Delayed hypersensitivity
(Q. VII) What is the role of class II MHC proteins on donor cells in graft rejection?
(A) They are the receptors for interleukin-2, which is produced by macrophages when they attack the donor cells
(B) They are recognized by helper T cells, which then activate cytotoxic T cells to kill the donor cdls
(C) They induce the production of blocking antibodies that protect the graft
(D) They induce IgE which mediates graft rejection
(Q. VIII) Grafts between genetically identical individuals (ie, identical twins)
(A) Are rejected slowly as a result of minor histocompatibility antigens
(B) Are subject to hyperacute rejection
(C) Are not rejected, even without immunosuppression
(D) Are not rejected if a kidney is grafted, but skin grafts are rejected

Hi focus, yes I am not sure what happened to my computer but it seems to be running ok now, it is just to slow.
I finally installed yahoo.messenger and it seems to be working I sent zade an e-mail and one to you too.
I am planning to finish immuno this weekend, I was about to finish kaplan immuno when I realize that I don't remember the first chapters, I think it is because I am leaving a lot of time beetwen chapters and not being constant, like one friend once told me YOU HAVE TO WEAK UP, EAT, DRINK, GO TO THE BATHROOM, AND SLEEP USMLE, in order to have it always in your mind.
So, what I am doing right now is that I am re-reading kaplan from chapter 1 and adding info from Jawetz, so I guess I am doing the second reading of immuno to have things fresh, hopefully when I get to micro I will stil remember immuno, ah! rolleyes:
New n lost thanks for the PM's. I'll try to be more active in the discussions.
 I am feelling more confident and with a better attitude towards the exam.
Today I had to tell my Mom that I wouldn't go with the family to have breakfast because I was going to see you guys at the discussion, and I was having trouble installing messenger and I told my mom that you guys were going to get angry that I wanted and that I needed to get loggined soon, because I didn't want to be late, and my Mom just looked at me with strange eyes, jeje, I guess she doesn't get why I was concerned to not let the group down if I haven't met you guys in person, so I explained to her how important it's become to me to count with persons who are in the same boat as me, who have the same goal....to ace this exam, and to share and post experiences and just have this space to vent and ask, etc, and I think she did get it, jeje
So to all of you thank you, specially focus who has I think gone beyond and has work so hard to keep us focused, jeje, so let's try to make our discussions or at list send an e-mail or a private message to know that it is going to be canceled or something, what do you think you guys?, and this includes me of course, since I tend to disappear for weeks, so I will log in more times during the week.
HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND, HAPPY STUDYING!!

Hi evryone:
Just a quick hello to let u know that I have started with patho and will start physio once I am done with the basic in path. So to update my list:
1st read completed in:
Biochem and genetics
Micro and Immuno
Behavioral Sci
Starting patho and physio to follow right along.
Left with:
Pharma and the anatomy series.
NNL: thanx 4 ur offer but sicne I have just started patho I will hold off 4 a while. But I could discuss some immuno points with u either during the previous time that I proposed or late at nite. Lemme give it some thoughts and I will get back 2 u.
BTW how was the discussion yesterday. No transcript as of yet. Looking forward to receiving one. I will answer ur q's later. thanx 4 the previous explanations. I was not 2 sure about the 2nd q and thought the answer might be D. good going.
Got 2 go now , have a deadline to meet in patho. Will post later.
TCand GL

Hey NOVAK and ZADE even though I'm not actively involved in pushing u guys..I'm so proud of u. U guys will do great. As u all know we are starting tomorrow once again. I wonder how that will go.
ZADE Focus fwd. some qs. that u had sent her. after reading i still don't get doubts and that scared me yesterday and i went into hiding for a bit behind a movie screen but am back now....will do more of them. How did u do in those?
Focus dear pal..where are u, hiding too? the prs. of being a boss. write to me, darling!
NNL haven't looked at the last set of qs. but i'm crossing myself now so I can get them right.
INDI excuses excuses and more excuses. U sound just like all of us did way back.
Wonder what KEEPGOING is upto???????
Good luck guys study harder.

Hi guys:
First order of business is NNL Q's.
Myanswers r:
B\C\E\C\B\C\C\A\B\C
Mytime: I have not done the q's yet cos I couldnt print them out. Will keep u posted. Might compare answers on this post.
Keepgoing: I ajve just started patho and is about to start chap 4 of RR: fluid and hemodynamics.
Focus: Do not give up.Maybe the subgroup idea is a pretty good one. People need to give out their available time in eastern time and u can form groups accordingly. For me four example the nite is a good one and that can put me in line with keepgoing and indidoc and even NNL. Just an idea. Plz do nto despair. Rome was not build in one day.
Novak: What r u doing now? Plz update.
And also as our sister thread did can everyone post their scheduled or possible exam date.
One for all and all for One.
TC & GL.
I have the March-May group but really aiming for the end of March.

Hi everyone,
I am reading immuno from jawetz, I finished audio from kaplan, and read 16 chapters of immuno kaplan.
I am having trouble setting time apart for studying, it seems that once I am in my studying mode, something comes up, I have to go to the store, or I have to drive someone somewhere, etc, or my Mom invites me to the movies or to eat because she is bored and only has me to go to places, so I feel bad and I can't say no to her, but I am guessing I will have to speak to her and tell her that maybe I will leave one day a week for her or two, but that the other day I am not available, for example they are already planning to go christmas shopping on Sunday, and I have to go with them because I drive, and on saturday I take her to to the grocery store, so my weekend is over and I CAN'T STUDY!!.
I asked for an exam extention so I have to aim for the last week in February, or I will have to pay for the exam again , so I have to hurry up!
I forgot last time to thank everyone who send me a happy birthday, thank you very much.!!
OH!, I got a good news, I just was told that I have been asigned a new subject to teach next year to second semester medical students, I am going to teach embriology, and maybe I will keep one group of anatomy!!!!, this is very good news for me.
take care, hugs and kisses to everyone!!

Hi Guys,
Keepgoing,Zade.......first of all Thankyou for your kind wishes for my better half. I really appreciate it buddy. Wrote in the other thread because all of those people really work on day to day posting & i didnt get time to write there since 2 days.Plus u guys know Mytime & Unique, they just wont do if they feel something's wrong......so u can imagine how many pms they would have sent & Mytime actually waited for the time to bump on me at the messenger. But the fact is guys they both got me running again .........so they are very special.
Keepgoing...............Thank you for the lovely pm.You my darling too yaar......BIG HUG!! & i wouldnt ever leave you for anything. Just got a little mad going through different tests of time. I am & will ALWAYS be here for you..
Zade.............read your msg earlier & was all smiles. Getting everyone together is seriously like building a Rome or maybe something even bigger.
Unique..........plz check u r pm honey.
Mytime..........will call u in a day or 2.
Rest TC

GI .....2 Days
Hepatobiliary.....2 Days
Renal............2 Days
Gyna............2 Days
Endocrine......1 Day
Musculoskeletal.....1 Day
Skin.....................1 Day
,CNS.....................1 Day
Haem...................3 Days
So right now its just 15-2, so 13 days still to go . If God helps & everything goes well inshaALLAH,i will do it.........because i have to.
Keepgoing,Unique,Mytime,Indidoc,Zade,Novak,Coolsuch,NNL.......you all know i am scheduled for 30 of Jan. I got this to get me going. I know i am a little behind as this is my first read (although i revised immuno so that i wont forget the stuff i have already done), but there is stuff i need to do. People might think of this as being crazy but i get geared up like this..........if i wasnt registered, i would have been the most laziest person of the world.
By the way, i might consider a little extension too . Never know......lets see how it works.
Getting back to books now, todays target : cns pharma (according to Mytime's first day)
Patho ( a little revision & catching up from
GI)
Lets start then.......rest plz report .
