Q

Side effects of hydroxyurea treatment

A

Suppresses the bone marrow. Can cause thrombocytopenia, leukopenia and anemia. but these effects are generally temporary and reversible but can predispose patient to infection.

Q

Lab findings for iron deficiency anemia

A

Decreased MCV, decreased transferrin, anistocytosis => increased RDW, decreased MCH, decreased trasnferrin saturation, increased TIBC. Smear shows small hypochromic rbcs.

Q

MCHC is elevated or depressed in hereditary spherocytosis? Why?

A

It’s elevated. Due to cellular dehydration and membrane loss, the MCHC is high.

Q

What are the diagnostic tests for hereditary spherocytosis?

A

Osmotic fragility test with acidified glycerol lysis test and abnormal eosin-5-maleimide binding test (flow cytometry)

23
Q

What is the typical manifestation of hereditary spherocytosis

A

Coombs negative hemolytic anemia, jaundice and splenomegaly

24
Q

Genetic pattern of hereditary spherocytosis

A

75% A/D, 25% spontaneous

25
What are lab findings/diagnostic tests for hereditary spherocytosis
Imp finding is elevated MCHC. Due to cell dehydration and lower cell volume, this is elevated. Spherocytes on peripheral blood smear, coombs negative. Diagnostically do the acidfied glycerol lysis test and the eosin 5 maleimide binding test.
26
How is vitamin K related to factors 2,7,9,10 and factors C and S.
Vitamin K is a cofactor for the enzyme gamma glutamyl carboxylase that adds carboxyl groups to the glutamate residues of several coagulation factors such as 2, 7, 9, 10 and C and S. These extra carboxyl groups add the factors affinities for platelets
27
Most common primary bone tumor in children
Osteosarcoma
28
Osteosarcomas are found most commonly in
Metaphyses of long bones: proximal humerus, distal femur, proximal tibia.
29
PE findings and X -ray findings for osteosarcoma
Large tender mass. X-ray finding: sun-burst periosteal pattern and "codman" triangle.
30
Lymphoblast histology/staining
Lack peroxidase positive material, often contain +PAS staining material, 95% immunostain for TdT. (TdT is only present in pre B and T lymphocytes)
31
Example of clotting disorders
Hemophilia A and B
32
Activated PTT time in hemophilias
Increased activated PTT
33
Examples of platelet defects
Von Willebrand and Bernard Soulier Syndrome
34
Ewing's sarcoma is often confused with
Osteomyelitis because of the intermittent fevers, leukocytosis, malaise, joint swelling
35
Characteristic x-ray findings for Ewing's sarcoma
Lytic, central bone lesion with periosteal reaction leading to onion skin appearance, followed by mottled appearance/moth eaten and extension into soft tissue
36
Cobalamin deficiency presents as
Macrocytic anemia
37
Most common inherited bleeding disorder
Impaired Von Willebrand factor
38
Primary dose limiting side effect of hydroxyurea
Myelosuppression
39
Brainstem is composed of
Midbrain, pons, medulla
40
Pineal gland secretes
Melatonin
41
What is parinaud syndrome
Downward gaze preference (sun setting gaze) with limited upward gaze, ptosis, upper eyelid retraction, pupillary abnormalities
42
What are the clinical sx of pineal gland mass
Parinaud syndrome, obstructive hydrocephalus, precocious puberty (if the pineal gland mass is a germ cell tumor that secretes b-HCG)
43
What are the clinical sx of obstructive hydrocephalus
papilledema, vomiting, headache, ataxias
44
What kind of masses can arise from pineal gland?
variety but most common is the germ cell tumor
45
Wht is the triad of hemolytic uremic sydnrome
renal failure, thrombocytopenia and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia
46
clinical ppt of HUS
abdominal pain and diarrhea followed by bloody diarrhea. Within 5-7 days => anemia, thrombocytopenia and renal insufficiency.
47
PE of HUS
Pallor, jaundice (hemolysis), edema, petechiae, HTN
48
What is the characteristic peripheral smear of HUS
Schistocytes and large platelet
49
Lead poisoning causes what kind of anemia
Microcytic anemia. Basophilic stippling on peripheral blood smear.
50
Triad of Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome
Eczema, thrombocytopenia (from decreased platelet production), hypogammaglobulinemia leading to recurrent bacterial infections.
51
How does polycythemia lead to cyanosis?
High red blood cell mass and hyperviscosity leads to cyanosis
52
What is the definition of neonatal polycythemia
Hematocrit greater than 65%
53
Wht are the risk factors for neonatal polycythemia
Increased erythropoiesis from Maternal diabetes, maternal hypertension, IUGR, smoking. Or erythrocyte transfusion from delayed cord clamping or twin twin transfusion
54
Clinical presentation of neonatal polycythemia
Neurologic manifestations (irritability, jitteriness), respiratory distress and hypoglycemia.
