Heme/Onc Flashcards
What is the incidence of febrile transfusion reactions?
1% for pRBC and 10% for platelet transfusions
Diagnostic criteria of CVID:
1.) decrease of more than 2 standard deviations of one immunoglobulin below the mean, 2.) poor antibody response to protein and polysaccharide vaccines 3.) exclusion of other causes of hypogammaglobulin
Kostmass syndrome or Familial severe neutropenia
ANC is usually <200, associated moncytosis and eosinophilia. Children with early death and severe bacterial infections. Stem cell transplant is curative
Schwachman-Diamond
AR. neutropenia, exocrine pancreas failure, short stature, metaphyseal dysostoses.
diagnosis and treatment of LAD deficiency
diagnosis by flow cytometry. treatment with BMT. Lifespan of 2 years without it
Job syndrome
characteristic facies, hyperextensible joints, osteopenia, scoliosis, elevated IGe, cold abscesses - usually staph. pneumonia with pneumatocele. Txment - should be on bactrim prophy
Chediak-Higashi
AR, partial albinism, giant lysosomes in all granulocytes, NK cell dysfunction, neurologic decline. Get bad EBV infections
Evans syndrome
AIHA and ITP
TAR syndrome
presents in neonatal period with bleeding. Severe thrombocytopenia. No megakaryocytes in bone marrow. Newborns have no radii, but thumbs are normal. Most survive, and plt counts improve over time.
Bernard-Soulier Syndrome
mild thrombocytopenia and giant abnormal platelets that do not aggregate in response to ristocetin, but do aggregate in response to ADP, epi, collagen. Prolonged bleeding time. Deficiency of glycoprotein Ib in the platelet membrane - can’t aggregate. Severe mucocutaneous bleeding in infancy
Glanzmann Thrombasthenia
AR with normal platelet counts and poor platelet aggreg that does not respond to ADP, epi, collagen
short stature, abnormal radii and thumbs, microcephaly, cafe-au lait spots, renal anomalies. 15% risk of developing AML
Fanconi syndrome
Diamond Blackfan anemia
Macrocytic anemia and reticulocytopenia. Can have associated thumb abnormalities, short stature, glaucoma, renal anomalies, hypogonadism, short, webbed necks, CHD and intellectual disabililty.
How do you treat the anemia of diamond blackfan?
80% respond to steroids
What pathway does PT measure?
extrinsic
What pathway does PTT measure
intrinsic and common pathways
whats a normal bleeding time?
<10min
What would cause prolonged PT, but normal PTT
FVII def, liver disease, warfarin
What would cause prolonged PTT, but normal PT
heparin or problem with factors XII, XI, IX, VIII (hemophilia)
