Storyboard Text
- Pathogen (virus) is transferred to the girl through contact with the desk
- I don't feel good...May I please go see the nurse?
- My throat hurts from coughing, I feel very hot, my head hurts, and my breathing is heavy.
- Hello. I'm sorry you are not feeling well. What are the symptoms you are experiencing?
- PNEUMONIA?!?! That sound serious! Isn't that an antigen that is resistant to antibodies?!
- Interesting. It appears you have pneumonia. There is no vaccine for your age that helps fight pneumonia, but there is an antibiotic I can give you that will help to get rid of it.
- Ok. If I got pneumonia in the first place, does that mean my nonspecific immune response didn't work? Does that mean my B-cells didn't work?! I don't understand how my specific immune response wasn't triggered by the antigen.
- Not exactly, but don't worry. The antibiotic will help you recover. Recovery from pneumonia will actually improve your defense against further infections by seeding the lungs with immune cells called lung resident memory T-cells.
- Thank you. That makes me feel a lot better.
- You have nothing to worry about. Many people get pneumonia and are back to normal as soon as it is gone. You just need to focus on getting better. I will call your parents so I can give you the antibiotic.
