Leukopenia Flashcards
Leukopenia results commonly form
Decrease granulocyte because they the the most numerous circulating WBC
Pathogenisis of neutopenia
1-decrese production a-bone marrow hypoplasia (chemotherapy, plastic anemia)
b-replacment of bone marrow by tumor
c-suppretion in neutrophil only in certain drug and in neo plastic proliferation of cytotoxic T cell and NK
2-increase destruction a-spenomegaly
b-increase perifral use in chronic infection
Pathogenisis of EBV
Effect on virus on B-cell lead to either 1-lytic of B- cell and spread of viral
2-stay and persist in latent form
–later on B-Cell will be activated and proliferate as a result of action protein lead to production on unusual AB like AB against sheep Red blood cell
–The T-lymphocyte control the proliferation of the virus effected B-cell
–B-cell will first secreter igM and later on igG
The main morphological features of EBV
Atypical lymphocytes
Diagnosis of EBV
Atypical lymphocytes
Positive monospot test
EBV specific AB
EBV and b-cell lymphoma
In PT with lacking of t-cell the EBV will stimulate b-cell proliferation which is un control this polyclonal proliferation will transform to B-cell lymphoma
Reactive lymphadenitis
1-acute non specific lymphadenitis(localized, genalize)
2-chronic Nonspecific lymphadenitis (follicular hyperplasia,paracortical hyperplasia, sinus histocytosis)
Causes of follicular hyperplasia
RA
Toxoplasmosis
Syphilis
Hiv
Causes of paracortical hyperplasia
Viral infections
Vaccination (CMV)
Drug(phenytoin)
Causes of sinus histocytosis
Cancer
