Case Study: Morty, a 72 year old male, visits your office complaining of fever, incontinence and an ulcer on his penis. His medical chart indicates that he has a pacemaker, as well as type II diabetes and ulcerative colisits (though both conditions are well controlled with medications). Upon examination you learn that Morty is a widower and currently lives in a nursing home. What infection does Morty have and what is the causative agent?
Homework Answers
Morty could be experiencing a fungal yeast infection.Since he is type II diabetic, the excess sugar in the blood as it gets passed through the urine would have supported the growth of yeast resulting in growth and ulcer on his penis.This would also have caused fever due to yeast infection.
