Hematopoiesis and benign conditions Flashcards

1
Q

HSC

A

during 3rd month migrate to liver
also take up residence in fetal placenta (can be harvested)
by 4th month reside in marrow
after puberty hematopoiesis restricted to axial skeleton

17
Q

disease states associated w/ineffective hematopoiesis

A

megaloblastic anemia

myeloid dysplastic syndrome

18
Q

immunologically mediated injury to neutrophils

A

idiopathic
SLE or other autoimmune conditions
drugs

19
Q

most common cause of agranulocytosis

A

drug toxicity

alkylating agents and antimetabolites used in chemo

20
Q

infections due to agranulocytosis

A

ulcerating necrotizing lesions of oral cavity characteristic
can progress to death in hours to days
high risk for candida and aspergillus
most serious when neutrophils <500

21
Q

leukocytosis

A

increase in WBCs

22
Q

acute infection leukocytosis

A

may be due to TNF and IL1

23
Q

prolonged infection leukocytosis

A

TNF and IL1 stimulate macros, bone marrow stromal cells, T cells -> produce hematopoietic GFs `

24
Q

IL5

A

eos

25
Q

G-CSF

A

neutrophils

26
Q

leukocytosis neutrophil changes

A

toxic granulations
Dohle bodies
cytoplasmic vaculoles

27
Q

Toxic granulations

A

coarser and darker then normal granules

abnormal azurophilic granules

28
Q

Dohle bodies

A

patches of blue dilated ER that appear as sky-blue cytoplasmic puddles

29
Q

neutrophilic leukocytosis

A

actue bacterial infections

30
Q

esosinophilic leukocytosis

A
allergic disorders
parasitic infections
drug rxns
malignaces (NHLs and HLs)
autoimmune disorders
vasculitides
31
Q

basophilic leukocytosis

A

rare

MPD

32
Q

Monocytosis

A
chronic infections (TB)
bacterial endocarditis
ricketsial and malaria
autoimmune
33
Q

lymphocytosis

A

chronic infections

viral infections

34
Q

follicular hyperplasia

A

due to activation of humoral response
RA
Toxoplasmosis
early HIV

35
Q

follicular hyperplasia morphology

A

dark zone
light zones
DCs
tangible-body macrophages

36
Q

reactive hyperplasia

A

preservation of lymph node architecture
frequent mitotic figures
phagocytic macros
light and dark zones

37
Q

paracortical hyperplasia

A

due to activation of T-cell mediated immune response

38
Q

sinus histiocytosis

A

aka reticular hyperplasia

increase in number and size of cells that line lymphatic sinusoids

39
Q

tertiary lymph organs

A

chronic immune rxns promote appearance of organized collections of immune cells in non-lymphoidal tissue
H.pylori at peyers patches
RA in inflamed synovium
due to lymphotoxin

40
Q

HLH

A

hemophagocytic lymphohistoiocytosis
aka macrophage activation syndrome
can be familial appearing early in like triggered by infection (EBV)
marked cytopenia and systemic inflammation

41
Q

HLH pathogenesis

A

activation of macros and CD8 T cells -> release mediators -> suppress hematopoiesis and produce systemic inflammation -> cytokine storm -> shock like syndrome

42
Q

HLH presentation

A

acute febrile illness
splenomegaly and hepatomegaly
hemophagocytosis in bone marrow
rapidly progress to shock and death
