Abstract

The Thing (1982) by John Carpenter represents an audiovisual challenge to think about the discovery of keys for the early detection of hostile infections. The search for quick and easy techniques for solving cases means the difference between survival and remaining suspicious for a group that tries to discover which of them are infected, and not end up transformed into «something else». This work will allow the student body to know the changes in the homeostatic balance that the relationship with microorganisms of different nature present in the blood would imply.
