Hemolymphatics Flashcards
(150 cards)
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?
ArabiansInheritedFailure of function of B and T lymphocyte production
Who gets XSCID? What is the sequele?
Dogs- bassets & welsh corgisMales 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?
AtrophyLoss of ArchitectureLymphocyto-lysisReduced 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 BenignSeen in older animals
What other dz’s are associated with thymomas? (TQ)
Myasthenia gravis +/- megaesophagusImmune mediated polymyositis
What causes thymic hemorrahage and hematomas,? What species?Sequele?
Trauma, ruptured aortic aneurisms, Rodenticide poisoningDogsSudden hypovolemic shock
What are the two types of physical injury could happen to the spleen? TQ
Rupture-HBC, neoplasm rupture (hemangio(sarco)ma/lymphosarcoma), SplenomegalyTorsion- strangulation of pole pigs, GDV dogs
What are the three types of splenic degeneration and necrosis?
SiderofibrosisAmyloidosisHemosiderosis
What is siderfibrosis, the lesions and who gets it?
Sidero-calcific plaques of capsule “gamna-Gandy bodiesFibrosis of capsule, hemosiderosis, granular encrustationsAged 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’sDecrease erythropoiesis = less iron demandhemolytic anemiachronic heart failureIron dextran injection pigsHemorrhage (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 = normalcompensatory in anemia
What can lead to uniform splenomegally with a bloody consistency “bloody spleen”?
Congestion- torsion, barbituate, euthanasia, sedationAcute hyperemia- septicimia, inflammationAcute 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 DzLympohid hyperplasiaBacteremia & low septicemiaNeoplasia (primary)Splenic myeloid mataplasia, histocytosis
What can lead to nodular spenomegaly with bloody nodules?
Hematoma from lymphoid hyperplastic nodules or splenic vascular neoplasmsIncomplete contractionAcute infarcts (wedge shaped)
What can lead to nodular splenomegaly with firm nodules?
Nodular hyperplasia- lymphoidPrimary neoplasmsMetastatic neoplasmsAbscesses- acute infectious dzGranulomas- chronic infectious dz
What are the main causes of small spleens?
Developmental anomaliesAging changesWasting &/or cachectic DzSplenic contraction
What is damaged in wasting &/or Cachectic Dz of spleen? TQ
Atropy of T-lymphocyte areasLittle-no effect on B lymphocytes
