MIDTERM Flashcards
(115 cards)
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
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome
Chédiak-Higashi syndrome problem
problem: platelet dense granule deficiency
tyrosinase- positive oculocutaneous albinism
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome
defective lysosomal function
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome
ceroid-like deposition in the cells of the RES
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome
morphologic abnormality: marked dilation and tortuosity of SCCS
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome
partal oculocutaneous albinism
Chédiak-Higashi syndrome
frequent pyogenic bacterial infectons
Chédiak-Higashi syndrome
giant lysosomal granules in cells
Chédiak-Higashi syndrome
“accelerated: lymphocytic proliferaton in the liver, spleen, and marrow with macrophage accumulation in tissues>pancytopenia>hemorrhage &
increased susceptibility to infecton”
Chédiak-Higashi syndrome
problem: absence of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS)
“problem: absence of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein
>impaired migration>impaired adhesion”
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS)
classic form: thrombocytopenia immunodeficiency syndrome
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS)
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) classic form:
thrombocytopenia immunodeficiency syndrome
