Friday Review Flashcards
In neutropenia, what are two ways that can cause decreased bone marrow production?
- acquired
2. congenital
3 congenital disorders that can lead to neutropenia?
- Kostmann syndrome
- Shwachmann-Diamond
- Cyclic neutropenia
Kostmann syndrome
- most severe congenital neutropenia
- dont make precursors
- G-CSF mutation
Shwachmann-Diamond syndrome
fat malabsoprtion pancreatic insufficiency bony abnormality growth delay autosomal recessive
Cyclic neutropenia
linked to apoptosis in marrow
In neutropenia, what are two ways that can cause increased turn over rate?
- Immune
2. Non immune
3 examples of syndromes that cause autoimmune neutropenia (increased turnover rate)
SLE, Evan’s syndrome, Felty’s syndrome
What does G-CSF do?
How?
Treat neutropenia
§ Give G-CSF at 3-5 μg/kg daily or every other day (stimulating factor -tell BM to make more neutrophil)
What does “left shift” indicate?
increase in segs and bands (Neutrophils)
*think shifting left towards the start - the first responders
Basophilia cause by?
primarily food or drug hypersensitivity
Eosinophilia cause by?
allergic disorders, parasitic infections, and drug reactions
Monocytosis caused by?
- Hematologic disorders, lymphomas
- Collagen Vascular Disease
- Granulomatous Disease
- Infection
- Malignancy
Chediak Higashi syndrome
- what type of disorder is it?
- molecular defect
- functional defect
- clinical presentation
- does it cause neutropenia or neutrophilia?
Granule defect disorder
-molecular defect: alteration in membrane fusion -> giant leaky granules
-functional defect: neutropenia, large leaky granules that dont work
-clinical presentation: hepatosplenomegaly:
Oculocutaneous albinism, nystagmus photophobia. Recurrent infections of skin, ect.
causes neutropenia (only one of the neutrophil disorders that do)
Myeloperoxidase deficiency
- what type of disorder is it?
- molecular defect
- functional defect
- clinical presentation
- what is it? granule defect disorder
- functional defect: deficiency myeloperoxidase (killing bacteria power)
- clinical presentation: overall healthy, increased fungal infection, associated with diabetes
“myelo, my little toe has gangrene”
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency I
- what type of disorder is it?
- molecular defect
- functional defect
- clinical presentation
adherence disorder “the -itis”
-functional defect:
Neutrophilia.
Decreased adherence to endothelial surface leading to a defect in movement of neutrophils to infected tissue sites.
(especially bad after surgery)
-clinical presentation:
Recurrent soft tissue infections (skin, mucous membranes), gingivitis, mucositis, peridontitis, cellulitis, abscesses.
Delayed separation of umbilical cord/omphalitis.
Poor wound healing.
IFN gamma is made by which helper t cell
Th1
IL-2 is made by which helper t cell
Th1
