anemia
unusual hematologic disease is either, ____ in etiology
congenital or acquired
characterized by reduced growth or production of blood cell
aplastic anemia
caused by damage or destruction of hemopoietic tissue of the bone marrow that results in deficient production of blood cells
aplastic anemia
if all cell lines (erythrocytic, leukocytic, thrombocytic) are affected, the disorder is referred as
pancytopenia
is made when at least two of the peripheral blood values fall below critical level
aplastic anemia
red blood cells usually are
normochromic and normocytic
iatrogenic agents
benzene
drugs
infection
burning gasoline aerosolize many pollutants, one of which is
benzene
can metabolized in the liver to a series of ___ and ___
benzene
phenolic and open ring structure
can inhibit maturation and amplification of bone marrow stem and blast cells
hydroquinones
led the list of antibiotics that produced cases of aplastic anemia if not prescribed properly
antibiotic chloramphenicol
other drugs that can produce aplastic anemia depending on dosage and duration
tetracyclines, organic arsenicals, phenylbutazone
causing aplastic crisis in patients with hemolytic anemia or in an immunocompromised host
B19 human parvovirus
characterized by total bone marrow failure with a reduction in circulating levels of red blond cells, white blood cells, and platelets
acquired aplastic anemia
___ occurs in approximately 4% of patients
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH)

diamond-blackfan is usually __
normochromic and slightly macrocytic
best described as congenital form of aplastic anemia
fanconi anemia
inherited through an autosomal recessive mode with the exception of the FA-b subtype which is X-linked
