CASE STUDY 2

Case Study

The case scenario pertains to a fort-two years old male presenting to the emergency

department with a two days history of dysuria, lower back pain, and inability to empty the

urinary bladder fully. This was accompanied by severe pain in the perineum and pyrexia with

chills. The paper develops a case study analysis by explaining the factors which affect fertility

(sexually transmitted diseases), why inflammatory markers rise in sexually transmitted diseases/

pelvic inflammatory diseases, why prostatitis and infection occur along with the causes of a

systemic reaction, why a patient would need a splenectomy after a diagnosis of idiopathic

thrombocytopenic purpura, a description of anemia and its various types like microcytic anemia,

and macrocytic anemia.

Factors Affecting Fertility

Various factors affect fertility in males. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) like

infection with Chlamydia result in impairment in sperm formation in males. Sexually transmitted

disease results in blockage and inflammation of the tubular system which ensures the transport of

sperms from the testes which result in infertility. A systematic review by Fode, Fusco, Lipshultz

& Weidner (2016) found an association between male infertility and STDs, but could not

identify the underlying mechanism.

Why Inflammatory Markers rise in STDs/PID

Inflammatory markers like erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive proteins

(CRP) are increased in STDs and PIDs. This is because STDs and PID result in underlying

inflammatory processes in the body resulting in elevation of inflammatory markers. PID is also
