What embronic structure does the thymus come from?
3rd pharyngeal pouch
Why do you use desmopressin with vWF dz?
releases vWF stored in endothelium and incr. factor VIII activity
Child with viral infection that has low platelets?

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is caused by Abs against what protease?
ADAMTS13 (vWF metalloprotease that cleaves vWF)
Symptoms of TTP?
FAT RN: Fever, microangiopathic hemolytic Anemia (schistocytes), Thrombocytopenia, Renal problems, Neurologic problems
When would you see an IgM cold hemolytic anemia?
After EBV infection, HIV, Mycoplasma pneumonia, leukemia - HELM
When you see target cells, HALT..?
