What is the best antibiotic or drug to treat these pathogens?

Create an original clinical case study from the appropriate topic list (see “instructions on writing
a case study” in discussion post).

Each case study must include:
One patient infected with 2 pathogens from the table below (disease topic list #1). The 2 pathogens selected cannot come from the same classification, in other words, you cannot choose 2 bacteria for the case study. You must choose a bacteria and a virus, fungus and a protozoan, a helminth and a bacteria, etc, as long as the combination has 2 different types of pathogens for the case study
Patient’s age, gender, habits, lifestyle, diet, pets that live in the home or animals that patient has been in contact with. Make sure the pathogen is in the correct geographical region to infect your patient! Example: you cannot get Malaria on a cruise ship in Alaska
Any other underlying medical condition (pregnancy, HIV+, organ transplant, chemotherapy), occupation, travel history, vaccines received, medications presently being taken
The signs and symptoms the patient is presenting when he or she comes in seeking medical attention.
Possible transmission routes, diagnostic tests: blood work and results, culture results, staining results, antibody tests, DNA/RNA or PCR tests, where the patient sample was collected
Discuss prevention and treatment. Is there a vaccine available or in experimental trials? What is the best antibiotic or drug to treat these pathogens?
Case studies MUST be submitted on Canvas under assignments and will be checked for originality using the web program turnitin.com PRIOR to being posted on the group discussion board
Writing requirements: ¾- 1 full page typed, double spaced, 12 pt font Times New Roman, and no more than 25% similarity on turnitin.com will be accepted.

EXAMPLE:
“An otherwise healthy active 40-year-old male living in North Carolina comes
into the ER complaining of fever, headache, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea,
and itching around his anus which had made his restless and caused him to have
trouble sleeping. He reported to the nurse that he has recently been hiking with his
young toddler who still has a thumb sucking habit. Upon a physical examination
the nurse notices a rash that looks like pinpoint dots.
The physician decides to order a tape test and blood test. The tape test revealed
eggs had been located around the patient’s anus and the blood test show’s
antibodies for a gram negative, rod-shaped bacterium. The blood sample also
revealed that he has elevated levels of eosinophils and the antibody IgE. The
physician prescribed both Doxycycline and Mebendazole.
The patients initial symptoms could have been prevented if he used insect
repellant while hiking and worn long clothing. To prevent oral/fecal
transmission, cut his fingernails, washed his hands after using the
bathroom, changing diapers, or handling food.”
