M1Asion .docx NURS: 6501 Rheumatoid Arthritis and Invasive Aspergillosis Master of Science in Nursing, Walden University NURS: 6501 Advanced Pathophysiology Case Study A forty-nine-year-old patient with rheumatoid arthritis comes into the clinic with a chief complaint of a fever. The patient'...
The chief complaint in this case study is a fever of 101 for about a week, which can be
a pretty common symptom of rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune
condition that causes inflammation; when cellular protein is recognized as foreign by immune
cells T lymphocytes, a cascade of destructive inflammation is set in place (Smith, 2020). The
fact that rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition and causes inflammation patients are
prone to fever, also long-term use of immunosuppressant agents can contribute to elevated
body temperatures. The sweats are caused by the rapid change in the body's core temperature
and
chills are the result of exaggeration of the normal circadian temperature rhythm. Fatigue is
very common in rheumatoid arthritis. Pain alone can cause fatigue, but fatigue generally
come from the increased effort with activity due to muscle weakness from lack of energy
and activity. Fatigue is also a side effect of prednisone and methotrexate. Invasive
pulmonary aspergillosis grows spores in the alveoli causing obstruction and producing
symptoms of chest pain with coughing and occasional hemoptysis (AL-Janabi, 2020).
