What else can I help you with?
What are atypical antibodies?
these are the allo antibodies produced against the foreign cells in a transfused patient usually foun in patients with multiple transfusions
What happens in autoimmune hemolytic disorders?
The red blood cells are destroyed by antibodies produced by the patient's own body (autoantibodies).
A test used to detect anti-Rickettsia antibodies in a patient is the?
Indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) is commonly used to detect anti-Rickettsia antibodies in a patient. This test involves exposing the patient's serum to Rickettsia antigens and then using fluorescently labeled antibodies to detect any bound antibodies. Positive results indicate a past or current infection with Rickettsia bacteria.
Do lupus antibodies come and go?
Yes, lupus antibodies can *come and go*. Usually antibodies remain present in the patient, but they may be more difficult to find in a blood test. It is possible to have lupus and have negative antibodies.
What does diagnosis of yellow fever entail?
the examination of blood by various techniques in order to demonstrate either yellow fever viral antigens (the part of the virus that stimulates the patient's immune system to respond) or specific antibodies
A patient with rabies is given _____ to treat the infection?
hyperimmune specific antibodies
what is cognitive-behavioral?
In cognitive-behavioral therapy, the therapist works with the patient to identify the thoughts that are causing distress, and employs behavioral therapy techniques to alter the resulting behavior.
If igG is positive how can identify patient is infected or not?
If IgG antibodies are positive, it indicates that the patient has been exposed to the pathogen at some point in the past and has developed an immune response. However, it does not confirm an active infection, as IgG can persist long after the initial infection has resolved. To determine if a patient is currently infected, additional testing for IgM antibodies or direct detection of the pathogen (e.g., PCR or culture) is necessary. This combination of tests helps differentiate between past exposure and active infection.
What type of immunity occurs when the patient is given direct antibodies?
artificial passive
When a patient has autoimmune hemolyic anemia antibodies destroy what?
Red blood cells
What is elisa test igm and iga?
The ELISA test for IgM and IgA is a laboratory technique used to detect the presence of immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies in a patient's serum. IgM antibodies are typically produced early in an immune response, indicating a recent infection, while IgA antibodies are primarily found in mucosal areas and indicate local immune responses. This test is often used in diagnosing infections or autoimmune diseases, providing valuable information about the patient's immune status.
Is it possible for a hyper thyroid to be irradiated and not burn out?
Yes, it is possible for a patient to undergo radioactive iodine ablation and still have a functioning thyroid. If the patient has autoimmune thyroid disease and antibodies have not been addressed, it is possible for a patient in this situation to suffer the rollercoastering effects of antibodies on the remainder of the thyroid gland.
