Lysed RBC

35
Q

Features of cyclic neutropenia

A

Life long history of neutrophils count decrease to around 0 for 3-5 days at a time every 3 weeks and then rebound

36
Q

Mutation of ___ causes cyclic neutropenia?

A

ELA2 gene—>code for neutrophil elastase (excessive inhibition)

37
Q

What does neutrophil elastase do?

A

They inhibit neutrophil differentiation when there are enough neutrophils

38
Q

Monocyte decrease or increase when neutrophil drops for cyclic neutropenia?

A

Monocytes increases (opposite of neutrophils)

39
Q

What do you observe when giving G-CSF to cyclic neutropenia pts?

A

Mean neutrophil counts increase/cyclic periods decreases/other cell line change as well

40
Q

Low neutrophil is especially susceptible to ___ infection

A

Intestinal bacterial

41
Q

Quinine and NSAIDS induced thrombocytopenia is caused by?

A

Antibodies target GPIb or 2b/3a on the platelets

42
Q

Penicillin and cephalosporin induced thrombocytopenia is caused by?

A

Drugs act as heptin

43
Q

Heparin induced thrombocytopenia is achieved through two ways

A

Type 1: heparin bind to PF4 onto platelet—>promote platelet aggregation (platelet count normalize later)
Type 2: IgG target heparin-PF4 complex and then bind to Fc or PF4 receptor onto platelet

44
Q

Prothromotic state is achieved with HIT type II through?

A

The binding of IgG-heparin-PF4 onto PF4 receptor on platelet—>activate platelet

45
Q

Thrombin binds to ___ to activate protein C (negative feedback)?

A

thrombomodulin

46
Q

What are type I and type II protein C deficiency?

A

Type I: decrease number

Type II: decrease function

47
Q

What does protein S do for protein C?

A

When V and X together—>cleavage site for V is hidden—>protein S uncover the site and let protein C cleave it (teamwork!)
