Recurrent respiratory infections are often associated with B cell deficiencies, leading to inadequate antibody production.

Streptococcus pyogenes is the most common cause of pharyngitis and is detected by rapid strep tests.

Escherichia coli is the most common cause of urinary tract infections.

SLE is characterized by a humoral immune response, particularly the production of autoantibodies.

The cavitary lesion in the right upper lobe is characteristic of pulmonary tuberculosis, which is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Granulomas in the lymph nodes are characteristic of tuberculosis, which is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

The MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) is effective in preventing measles.

The measles vaccine provides active immunity by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies.

To find the original concentration, multiply the number of colonies by the dilution factor: 1,200 colonies * 100 = 120,000 CFU/mL.

Post-exposure prophylaxis for hepatitis B includes administering the hepatitis B vaccine.

An 80% reduction means that 20% of the original viral load remains. 20% of 5,000 copies/mL is 1,000 copies/mL.

Allergic reactions are primarily mediated by humoral immunity, specifically IgE antibodies.

If 25% of the bacteria are resistant, then 75% are susceptible to the antibiotic.

The meningococcal vaccine is the most effective preventive measure against Neisseria meningitidis infection.

Clostridium difficile is known for causing antibiotic-associated diarrhea and produces toxins that lead to severe gastrointestinal symptoms.

Oral thrush in an immunocompromised patient is most commonly caused by Candida albicans.

Yellow fever virus is endemic in tropical regions and can cause fever, jaundice, and abdominal pain.

HIV primarily targets and destroys CD4+ helper T cells, leading to immunodeficiency.

The zygote implants into the uterine wall during the blastocyst stage, approximately 5-6 days after fertilization.

The heart begins to beat around 4 weeks of embryonic development.

Neurulation is the stage of development where the neural tube, which will develop into the central nervous system, forms.

The first trimester is when the embryo is most susceptible to teratogens, as major organs are forming.

Implantation occurs when the blastocyst attaches to the uterine wall, typically around 6-10 days after fertilization.

Most plants grow best in the temperature range of 20-30°C.

The heart starts to beat around 6 weeks of gestation.

RNA polymerase is the enzyme that synthesizes RNA by transcribing the DNA template during the process of transcription.

RNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for synthesizing RNA from a DNA template during the process of transcription.

Plants perform respiration both day and night, although photosynthesis occurs primarily during the day.

Carbon dioxide is incorporated into organic molecules during the Calvin cycle.

Carbon dioxide is utilized during the Calvin cycle.
