Capitolo 10, Problema 6
Use the following information to answer questions 6–7.
On September 6, a 6-year-old boy experienced fever, chills, and vomiting. On September 7, the child was hospitalized with diarrhea and swollen lymph nodes under both arms. On September 3, he had been scratched and bitten by a cat. The cat was found dead on September 5, and Y. pestis was isolated from the cat. Chloramphenicol was administered to the child from September 7, when Y. pestis was isolated from his blood. On September 17, the child's temperature returned to normal. On September 22, the child was released from the hospital.
Identify the incubation period for this case of bubonic plague.
a. September 3-5
b. September 3-6
c. September 6-7
d. September 6-17
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Step 1: Understand the incubation period definition. The incubation period is the time interval between exposure to an infectious agent and the appearance of the first symptoms.
Step 2: Identify the date of exposure. The child was scratched and bitten by the cat on September 3, which is the likely point of infection with Yersinia pestis.
Step 3: Identify the date when symptoms first appeared. The child experienced fever, chills, and vomiting starting on September 6.
Step 4: Calculate the incubation period by determining the time between exposure (September 3) and the onset of symptoms (September 6).
Step 5: Match this time interval to the given options to select the correct incubation period.
