Q

What is thalassemia?

A

decreased synthesis of hemoglobin components. As a result RBC’s are recognized as abnormal and are destroyed.

Q

What is eryhtroblastosis fetalis?

A

Occurs when an Rh- mother has a Rh+ child on first pregnancy, during delivery, there is blood exchange and the mother develops Rh antibodies. During the next pregnancy if the fetus is Rh positive. The mothers antibody will cross the placenta and destroy the RBC’s of the fetus.

Q

What are 2 anemias due to nutritional deficiencies?

A
  1. pernicious anemia
  2. iron deficiency anemia
21
Q

What is pernicious anemia?

A

When parietal cells of gastric mucosa do not funciton properly and dont properly produce “intrinsic factor”. Instrinsic factor is necessary for the absorption of vitabin B12. WIthout it, RBC’s are abnormal.

22
Q

What is iron deficiency anemia?

A

Lack of iron leads to decreased production of RBC’s?

23
Q

What person is iron deficiency anemia most common?

A

women of child bearing age (menstrual blood loss)

24
Q

What are 3 other symptoms associated with iron deficiciency anemia… other than decreased RBC’s

A
  1. angular chelitis
  2. loss of filiform papillae
  3. distortion of taste
25
Q

What are the symptoms of Plummer-Vinson Syndrome?

A

it is a syndrome exhibiting iron deficiency anemia, esophageal webs-strictures, and increased risk of esophageal/oral cancer

26
Q

What is an example of anemia due to bone marrow disorders?

A

Aplastic Anemia

27
Q

What is aplastic anemia?

A

failure of stem cells to form RBC’s, white blood cells, and platelets

28
Q

What are the 5 signs/symptoms of aplastic anemia?

A
  1. weakness
  2. pallor
  3. infections
  4. ulcers
  5. hemorrhage
29
Q

What is Polycythemia?

A

Increase in RBC’s per unit volume of blood

30
Q

What are the 3 types of polycythemia?

A
  1. relative polycythemia
  2. physiologic polycythemia
  3. pathologic polycythemia
31
Q

What is relative polycythemia? what are the symptoms?

A

decrease in plasma volume results in hemoconcentration

vomitting, diarrhea, dehydration

32
Q

What is the cause of pathologic polycythemia?

A

often idiopathic but can be due to abnoraml increase in eryhtropoiesis, and may be related to medications, or presence of neoplasms

33
Q

What is the negative effect of polycythemia?

A

blood flow is sluggish and may lead to ischemia and thrombosis

34
Q

2 examples of non-neoplastic leukopenia

A
  1. agranulocytosis
  2. cyclic neutropenia
35
Q

What is agranulocytosis?

A

Decrease in WBC’s, particularly neutrophils (PMNs, polymorphonuclear leukocytes)

36
Q

What is cyclic neutropenia?

A

unsual from of agranulocytosis

37
Q

What is cyclic neutropenia?

A

periodic or cyclic decrease in circulation neutrophils due to transient bone marrow maturation arrest

38
Q

What is an example of non-neoplastic leukocytosis?

A

infectious mononucleosis

39
Q

What is the cause of infectious mononucleosis?

A

Epstein-Barr virus

40
Q

What is the result of having infectious mononucleosis?

A

increase in atypical lymphocytes in the peripheral blood. Patient will ahve fever, chills, nausea, vomitting, pharyngitis. May also cause intraoral petechiae

41

Q

What is Lymphoma?

A

Q

signs and symptoms of lymphomas?

A

fever, weight loss, nocturnal sweats
