MIDTERM Flashcards
manifests in infancy or childhood with hemorrhage characteristics of defective platelet function: ecchymoses, epistaxis, and gingival bleeding
Bernard-Soulier (Giant Platelet) Syndrome
problem: lack or abnormal GP Ib/IX/V complex in platelet surface
Bernard-Soulier (Giant Platelet) Syndrome
resembles VWD
Bernard-Soulier (Giant Platelet) Syndrome
homozygotes for BSS
50%
heterozygotes for BSS
enlarged platelets, thrombocytopenia, and usually decreased platelet survival
BSS most common form
defect in GP Ib⍺
Bernard-Soulier (Giant Platelet) Syndrome (laboratory profile )
normal platelet aggregation in response to platelet activating agents binding of VWF to platelets
abnormal platelet aggregation: ristocetin-induced
large platelets and thrombocytopenia
Inherited Giant Platelet Syndromes
Inherited Giant Platelet Syndromes platelet ultrastructure:
normal
abnormal microtubule distribution
May-Hegglin anomaly
platelets are spherical and have a prominent surface-connected canalicular system.
Epstein syndrome
