Hematopoetic (KP) Flashcards
What cells do combined immunodeficiency disorders (CIDS) affect? TQ
Both Humoral (B cells) and Cell mediated immunity (T cells)
What breed does equine CID affect, eitology & sequele?
Arabians
Inherited
Failure of function of B and T lymphocyte production
Who gets XSCID? What is the sequele?
Dogs- bassets & welsh corgis
Males lack mature functional T lymphocites, low IgG & IgA w/ normal IgM
What do degenerative Thymus disorders result in?
Variable degrees of aquired immunodefeciency
What are the degenerative disorders of the Thymus?
Atrophy
Loss of Architecture
Lymphocyto-lysis
Reduced lymphocyte populations
What neoplastic disease of the Thymus affects young animals?
Thymic Lymphoma
T-lymphocyte neoplasm
What is thymoma?
Thymic epithelial cell neoplasm w/ mix of non-neoplastic lymphocytes.
Are thymoma’s benign or malignant, what age animal do they occur in?
Usually Benign
Seen in older animals
What other dz’s are associated with thymomas? (TQ)
Myasthenia gravis +/- megaesophagus
Immune mediated polymyositis
What causes thymic hemorrahage and hematomas,?
What species?
Sequele?
Trauma, ruptured aortic aneurisms, Rodenticide poisoning
Dogs
Sudden hypovolemic shock
What are the two types of physical injury could happen to the spleen? TQ
Rupture-HBC, neoplasm rupture (hemangio(sarco)ma/lymphosarcoma), Splenomegaly
Torsion- strangulation of pole pigs, GDV dogs
What are the three types of splenic degeneration and necrosis?
Siderofibrosis
Amyloidosis
Hemosiderosis
What is siderfibrosis, the lesions and who gets it?
Sidero-calcific plaques of capsule “gamna-Gandy bodies
Fibrosis of capsule, hemosiderosis, granular encrustations
Aged dogs
What is amyloidosis & lesions?
“Sago Spleen”
Prominent white pulp
What is hemosiderosis?
Pigmentation from hemosiderin (storage form of iron)
Eitology of hemosiderosis?
Breakdown of RBC's Decrease erythropoiesis = less iron demand hemolytic anemia chronic heart failure Iron dextran injection pigs Hemorrhage (trauma) Hematomas,infarcts
What type of atrophy of the spleen is frequent in old dogs?
Nodular Hyperplasia
When does extramedulary hematopoiesis happen in the spleen?
Young animals = normal
compensatory in anemia
What can lead to uniform splenomegally with a bloody consistency “bloody spleen”?
Congestion- torsion, barbituate, euthanasia, sedation
Acute hyperemia- septicimia, inflammation
Acute hemolytic anemia- babesiosis, EIA
What can lead to uniform splenomegaly with a firm consistency “meaty spleen”? TQ
Chronic hemolytic anemia (EIA) Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) Chronic infectious Dz Lympohid hyperplasia Bacteremia & low septicemia Neoplasia (primary) Splenic myeloid mataplasia, histocytosis
What can lead to nodular spenomegaly with bloody nodules?
Hematoma from lymphoid hyperplastic nodules or splenic vascular neoplasms
Incomplete contraction
Acute infarcts (wedge shaped)
What can lead to nodular splenomegaly with firm nodules?
Nodular hyperplasia- lymphoid Primary neoplasms Metastatic neoplasms Abscesses- acute infectious dz Granulomas- chronic infectious dz
What are the main causes of small spleens?
Developmental anomalies
Aging changes
Wasting &/or cachectic Dz
Splenic contraction
What is damaged in wasting &/or Cachectic Dz of spleen? TQ
Atropy of T-lymphocyte areas
Little-no effect on B lymphocytes
