1 Week 10 Case Study 1 Mira Guirguis South University NSG5003 Advanced Pathophysiology Dr. Sandi Dr. McDermott April 20 th , 2024
2 Part 1 Case Study 1 1. Most likely cause including pathogen:   A class of viruses known as adenoviruses can infect people and lead to a variety of ailments. Numerous gastrointestinal, ocular, and respiratory illnesses are brought on by them. Adenoviruses are extremely contagious and can be transferred by contact with contaminated surfaces or objects, respiratory droplets, and intimate human contact (Solano, 2023). A frequent adenovirus infection is called viral conjunctivitis, or "pink eye." This disorder develops when a viral infection causes inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin, transparent membrane that borders the inside surface of the eyelids and covers the white portion of the eye (Solano, 2023). Therefore based on the information provided, I believe this patient is suffering from viral conjunctivitis and the pathogen responsible would-be adenovirus. 2. Mode of transmission: The most common ways for adenoviral conjunctivitis to spread are by direct contact with contaminated eye fluids, contaminated objects like towels or makeup, and respiratory droplets from sneezing or coughing (Solano, 2023).
