Pernicious anemia
37
- black or mediterranean boy with dark urine, jaundiced, and anemic - exposure to mothballs, antimalarials, nitrofurantoin, bactrim, cipro or fava beans triggers hemolytic crisis - sudden onset of pallor and anemia - Heinz bodies: small purple granules in the red cell that form as a result of damage to the Hb molecule - X linked
G6PD deficiency
38
-G6PD mainly found in African Americans
Type A
39
-G6PD mainly found in Mediterraneans
Type B
40
- defects in the surface of red cells resulting in loss of erythrocyte surface area - MC autosomal dominant - increased MCHC, low retic ct - Dx: osmotic fragility testing - etiology: spectrin deficiency or mutation - presents with mod anemia, splenomegaly, and intermittent jaundice - Tx: folic acid or splenectomy - parvovirus causes aplastic crisis
Hereditary Spherocytosis
41
- -anemia, jaundice, and splenomegaly - cells depleted of lactate and ATP--> buildup of DPG-->right shift of the oxygen binding curve - increase in exercise tolerance - Northern Europeans - Autosomal recessive
Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency
42
- caused by a substitution at AA6 of the beta globin chain (valine for glutamic acid) - newborn screening - vasoocclusive crisis - splenic sequestration - aplastic crisis - need PCN PPx - Howell-Jolly Bodies
