Study Notes
Clinical Case Summaries
Case 16
- Likely diagnosis: Trichomoniasis, indicated by yellow, frothy, malodorous discharge, and vulvar itching.
- Etiology: Caused by the protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis.
- Diagnostic evaluation: Examination reveals vaginal discharge with a pH of 6.5; 10% KOH test negative for amine odor.
- Management: Antibiotics (e.g., metronidazole) for treatment.
- Risk factors: Unprotected sexual activity, multiple partners.
Case 17
- Likely diagnosis: Bacterial vaginosis, suggested by fish-smelling discharge and presence of stippled epithelial cells.
- Etiology: Imbalance of vaginal flora, primarily due to a decrease in Lactobacilli.
- Diagnostic evaluation: Microscopic examination shows decreased Lactobacilli, few WBCs, and specific bacterial flora.
- Management: Metronidazole or clindamycin for treatment.
- Risk factors: Sexual activity, douching, lack of condom use.
Case 18
- Likely diagnosis: Postoperative infection, possibly endometritis, indicated by fever and foul-smelling lochia.
- Etiology: Bacterial infection following cesarean delivery.
- Diagnostic evaluation: Elevated WBC count (17,000 cells/µL) and clinical symptoms post-surgery.
- Management: Antibiotics and supportive care.
- Risk factors: Prolonged rupture of membranes, cesarean delivery.
Case 19
- Likely diagnosis: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), signaled by lower abdominal pain and mucopurulent discharge.
- Etiology: Result of untreated STIs, commonly Chlamydia or Gonorrhea.
- Diagnostic evaluation: Pelvic examination showing cervical motion tenderness.
- Management: Broad-spectrum antibiotics.
- Risk factors: Multiple sexual partners, inconsistent condom use.
Case 20
- Likely diagnosis: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), suggested by amenorrhea, hirsutism, and weight gain.
- Etiology: Hormonal imbalance affecting ovarian function.
- Diagnostic evaluation: Serum hormone levels, ultrasound for ovarian cysts.
- Management: Lifestyle changes, hormonal therapies.
- Risk factors: Family history, obesity.
Case 29
- Likely diagnosis: Complete miscarriage (spontaneous abortion), indicated by heavy vaginal bleeding and non-viable pregnancy on ultrasound.
- Etiology: Often due to chromosomal abnormalities.
- Diagnostic evaluation: Ultrasound shows no fetal cardiac activity and retained products.
- Management: Possible surgical intervention or medication to complete the miscarriage.
- Risk factors: Previous pregnancy losses, advanced maternal age.
Case 30
- Likely diagnosis: Severe preeclampsia or eclampsia, suggested by hypertension and seizures at 33 weeks of pregnancy.
- Etiology: Defective placentation leading to systemic vascular resistance.
- Diagnostic evaluation: Blood pressure monitoring, laboratory tests for kidney function.
- Management: Medications to control hypertension, magnesium sulfate for seizure prevention.
- Risk factors: Previous history of hypertension, obesity.
Case 31
- Likely diagnosis: Placental abruption, indicated by severe abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, and marked hypotension.
- Etiology: Premature separation of placenta from the uterine wall.
- Diagnostic evaluation: Clinical evaluation and ultrasound may reveal retroplacental hematoma.
- Management: Emergency delivery may be necessary; assess maternal and fetal well-being.
- Risk factors: Trauma, hypertension, smoking.
Case 32
- Likely diagnosis: Preterm labor, indicated by contractions and cervix changes at 31 weeks.
- Etiology: Various factors; potential infection or cervical insufficiency.
- Diagnostic evaluation: Fetal fibronectin test positive, cervical examination reveals effacement.
- Management: Tocolytics to halt contractions, corticosteroids for fetal lung development.
- Risk factors: Previous preterm birth, cervical surgery history.
Case 33
- Likely diagnosis: Gestational hypertension or preeclampsia, indicated by high blood pressure and proteinuria at 35 weeks.
- Etiology: Unclear, but related to placental development.
- Diagnostic evaluation: Urinalysis showing protein, blood pressure monitoring.
- Management: Monitor closely, possibly induce labor if severe.
- Risk factors: First pregnancy, family history of preeclampsia.
Case 37
- Likely diagnosis: Endometriosis, suggested by lower abdominal bloating and infertility.
- Etiology: Presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity.
- Diagnostic evaluation: Pelvic examination reveals adnexal masses; ultrasound shows ovarian masses.
- Management: Pain management, hormonal therapy, or surgical options.
- Risk factors: Family history, menstrual disorders.
Case 38
- Likely diagnosis: Possible cervical pathology or polyp, inferred from intermenstrual spotting post-intercourse.
- Etiology: Various causes including hormonal imbalances or structural lesions.
- Diagnostic evaluation: Pap smear and possible biopsy needed, given history of unremarkable findings.
- Management: Monitor, treat any underlying conditions found in evaluation.
- Risk factors: History of cervical issues, lack of regular gynecological check-ups.
