0.65 59 30 Otitis media, or middle ear infection, is initially treated with an antibiotic Researchers have compared two antibiotics, A and B for their cost effectiveness. A is inexpensive, safe, and effective. Bis also safe. However, it is considerably more expensive and it is generally more effective. Use the tree diagram to the right (where the costs are estimated as the total cost of medication, office visit, ear check, and hours of lost work) to answer the following. a....

Two antibiotics A and B are available as treatment for a common ear infection in children. Antibiotic A is known to cure the infection 75 % of the time. Treatment with Antibiotic A costs $ 70. Antibiotic B is known to cure the infection 90 % of the time. Treatment with Antibiotic B costs $ 85. The antibiotics work independently of one another. A health insurance company intends to recommend one of the following two plans of treatment for children...

A woman with a blood-borne Enterobacter infection was treated with cephalosporin, a preferred antibiotic for such an infection. After the treatment, Enterobacter could not be cultured from her blood, indicating that the bacteria were killed. However, her symptoms were much worse after the antibiotic treatment and she very nearly died from this. Explain why the antibiotic treatment made her symptoms worse and why this condition is so dangerous and often fatal.

A pediatrician prescribes the antibiotic amoxicillin to treat a child suffering from an ear infection. the prescribed dose is to be 73.1 mg of drug per kilogram patient body mass per day. The drug is the be administered twice each day in the form of a liquid containing 125.0 mg amoxicillin per milliliter. If the child weighs 33.01 pounds, how many milliliters of the liquid should be administered in each dose? Answer in milliliters, please.

3. (7 pts.) Suppose the time that it takes for a certain infection to be cured is Normally distributed with mean (in days) and standard deviation = 1 day. The drug manufacturer advertises that it works in 5 days, on average, but measurements on a random sample of 150 patients gave a mean infection time of = 5.2 days. Is this evidence that the mean time to be cured is actually more than advertised? (a) To answer this, test...

Antibiotic resistance occurs when disease-causing microbes become resistant to antibiotic drug therapy. Because this resistance is typically genetic and transferred to the next generation of microbes, it is a very serious public health problem. According to the CDC, 7% of gonorrhea cases tested in 2004 were resistant to the antibiotic ciprofloxacin. A physician prescribed ciprofloxacin for the treatment of 10 cases of gonorrhea during one week in 2004. (c) What is that probability for exactly 2 out of 10?

1. To determine the likelihood that a patient with a bacterial infection who is in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a hospital could be successfully treated with antibiotic therapies, researchers investigated the frequency of antibiotic resistance in bacteria isolated from patients in ICUs in the United States from 1994 to 2000. The data from the study are shown in the table, along with the overall change in the frequency of bacterial resistance in patient samples from 1994 to 2000....

The victims of a certain disease being treated at Wake Medical Center are classified annually as follows: cured, in temporary remission, sick, or dead from the disease. Once a patient is cured, he is permanently immune. Each year, those in remission get sick again with probability 0.12, are cured with probability 0.23, die with probability 0.05, and stay in remission with probability 0.6. Those who are sick are cured with probability 0.05, die with probability 0.2, go into remission with...

Will, a 14 year-old boy develops a bad case of otitis media (middle ear infection) a few days in both ears after swimming in the Murray River, north of Melbourne. Will's previous medical history is unremarkable except for having had a minor skin rash two years ago after being treated with amoxicillin for a sore throat. The Therapeutic Guidelines recommend amoxicillin 15 mg/kg up to 500 mg orally, 8-hourly for 5 days. Will’s mother asks you, the practice nurse,...
