ADVANCED PATHOPHYSIOLOGY QUIZZES
Question 1
pts
After sexual transmission of HIV, a person can be infected yet seronegative for _____ months.
1 to 2
Correct!
6 to 14
24 to 36
18 to 20
Antibody appears rather rapidly after infection through blood products, usually within 4
to 7 weeks. After sexual transmission, however, the individual can be infected yet
seronegative for 6 to 14 months or, in at least one case, for years.
Question 2
pts
Once they have penetrated the first line of defense, which microorganisms do neutrophils actively attack,
engulf, and destroy by phagocytosis?
Correct!
Bacteria
Viruses
Mycoplasma
Fungi
Invasion results in direct confrontation with an individual’s primary defense mechanisms
against bacteria, which include the complement system, antibodies, and phagocytes,
such as neutrophils and macrophages. (See Chapters 6, 7, and 8).
Question 3
