chpt 13- hematologic disorders Flashcards
Proliferation of lymph cells in response to an antigenic challenge
Lymphoid hyperplasia
Areas of mouth for lymphoid hyperplasia
oropharynx
Soft palate
Lateral tongue
Floor of mouth
Acute vs Chronic lymphadenopathy
both are enlarged and freely movable, while the acute will also be soft while chronic is harder/rubbery
Variety of bleeding disorders associated with genetic deficiencies of any one of the clotting factors
Hemophilia
3 types hemophilia from most to least common
Hemophilia A
Hemophilia B
von Willebrand’s Disease
Hempophillia A is what factor deficiency
VIII
Hemophilia B is what factor deficiency
IX
von Willebrand’s disease is what deficiency
plasma glycoprotein
Hemophilia A is what type of genetic disorder and who is it expressed in
X-linked disorder with female carrier, but expressed in males
General term for a drop in the hematocrit or hemoglobin concentration
Anemia
general causes of anemia
blood loss
Decreased production of erythrocytes Increased destruction of erythrocytes
Anemia develops when…
not enough red blood cells(RBC) to transport oxygen to organs or RBC deficient in hemoglobin
What is the treatment of Hemophilia (I know this is out of place)
Replacement therapy with appropriate clotting factor
General symptoms of Anemia
tiredness, headache, lightheadedness (think of anything that will happen with low oxygen)
*****genetic disorder of hemoglobin synthesis that results from thymine substituting for adenine and eventually causing a rigid-curved(sickle) shaped cell instead of the normal biconcave shape
Sickle Cell Anemia
What tongue morphology is associated with vitamin deficiency and anemia
Bald tongue
Sickle Cell Anemia trait common in what demographic
Black and Mediterranean origin
Symptoms of sickle cell crisis
extreme pain due to infarction of tissue
Skull radiograph character of Sickle Cell
hair on end due to more marrow for extra hematopoiesis
2 disorders that cause Hair on End pattern
- Sickle cell anemia
- Thalassemia
Sickle Cell anemia is prone to what bacterial infection
S. Pneumonia
Character of sickle cells
cannot pass through small blood vessels. Destroyed quicker than normal blood vessels
5 Things that can trigger sickling phenomenon
exercise Exertion Admin of general anesthetic Pregnancy Sleep
Treatment of Sickle Cell Anemia
symptomatic and supportive therapy, oxygen, rest, fluids
Hemoglobin synthesis disorder characterized by reduced synthesis of either the alpha-globin or beta- globin chains of the hemoglobin molecule
Thalassemia
Homozygoud Thalasemia is major or minor and what does it cause
Major. Hemolytic anemia due to RBC membrane damage and destruction of RBC’s
Clinical look of Thalasemia major patient
*****prominent cheekbones, depressed nasal bridge, prominent premaxilla, flaring of maxillary anterior teeth
Key trait on radiograph to associate with Thalassemia
Thinning of Lamina dura
Thalassemia treatment
- blood transfusions and deferoxamine infusions nightly.
- Splenectomy
**Rare, life-threatening anemia caused by the failure of hematopoietic prescursor cells in bone marrow to produce adequate numbers of all types of blood cells
Aplastic Anemia
Aplastic anemia cause of death
White Blood Cell (WBC) deficiency (neutropenia, leucopenia, granulocytopenia) leads to bacterial and fungal infections
Granulocyte, platelet, reticulocyte numbers to diagnose Aplastic Anemia
granulocytes <20,000
Normal Granulocytes/neutrophiles = 6,000-10,000
Bone marrow character of aplastic anemia
relatively acellular with extensive fatty infiltration
Best treatment for Aplastic Anemia
patients younger than 40 with HLA matched bone marrow donor
***Decrease in the number of circulating neutrophils below 1500/mm3
Neutropenia
2 mechanisms that cause neutropenia
decreased production
Increased destruction
What nutritional deficiency can cause neutropenia
*****Vit B12 or folate deficiency
Bacteria susceptible to with neutropenia
S. aureus and gram negatives
Oral character of neutorpenia
gingival ulcers lacking characteristic erythmatous halo
**Neutropenia treatment
Cytokine granulocyte colony stimulating factor
**Condition where the cells of the granulocytic series, particularly neutrophils, are absent, through either decreased production or increased destruction
Agranulocytosis
Oral lesions common with Agranulocytosis
**Ulcerations and Necrotizing Ulcerative Ginigivitis (NUG)
**Agranulocytosis treatment
if suspect drug-induced, stop drugs. Give Granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF)
**Rare idiopathic hematological disorder that is characterized by regular periodic reductions in neutrophil population
cyclic neutropenia
Normal cycle for cyclic neutropenia
approximately 21 day cycle
Symptoms of cyclic neutropenia
seem to have flu every 3 weeks dor 3-6 days
character of ulcers in cyclic neutropenia
**have erythmatous halo
**Decreased number of circulating blood platelets due to either decreased production, increased destruction or sequestration in the spleen
Thrombocytopenia
Normal platelet count
200,000 – 400,000/ mm3
Platelets required for what
hemostasis and clot formation
