Question 1pts
A patient with a cough, fever and fatigue is diagnosed with influenza. Which of the following is
the best explanation for the patient s symptoms?
Correct!
Release of cytokines
Release of acute phase reactants
A systemic viremia
Release of bradykinin
The patient’s symptoms are directly related to the inflammatory response which has
been triggered by the influenza infection. The release of cytokines are responsible for
the symptoms experienced by patients infected with influenza. Influenza is not a
systemic infection and remains isolated to the pulmonary cells; therefore, a viremia
does not occur when a person has influenza. Acute phase reactants include ferritin,
platelets, coagulation proteins, c-reactive protein, complement proteins and are
released during times of inflammation but are not responsible for the symptoms.
Bradykinin is released during times of inflammation and causes pain. The patient is not
experiencing any pain.
