ITP blood labs
isolated thrombocytopenia
what is bleeding in renal failure patients due to?
dysfunctional platelets
chronic granulomatous disease puts you at risk for what infections?
catalase-producing organisms like staph aureus; neutrophils filled with bacteria are classic finding because they can still chemotax and eat the bacteria but just not do intracellular killing
chronic granulomatous disease- what diseases are you susceptible to?
pneumonias and adenitis are common because theses are caused by staph
adenosine deaminase def classic finding on CBC
lymphopenia because this leads to lack of maturation of B and T cells
common organisms that you are at risk for with adenosine deaminase activity
PCP, candida, paraflu, and herpes virus
when does complement consumption happen (and lead to immunodef)
diseases like vasculitis, glomerulonephritis, and certain connective tissue diseases. SLE
C3 def exposes you to risk of what kinds of infections
encapsulated bacteria, begins shortly after birth
most common primary immunodef
B cell maturation arrest; puts you at high risk for infections with encapsulated bacteria;
types of infections diGeorge syndrome patiens get
fungi and viral since T cell dysfunction is the hallmark
tetrad of HSP
palpable purpura, arthralgias, abdom pain, renal disease
platelets in HSP
normal
meabolic acidosis
think ischemia
causes of orbital cellulitis
staph and streps
IUGR, diaphoretic, and high pitched cry. Fetus was exposed to what?
heroin
fetal hydrantoin syndrome
phenytoin
nail and digit hypoplasia, dysmorphic facies and mental retardation
fetal hydantoin syndrome
NT defects, cardiac abnormalities, dysmorphic facies like cleft lip, narrow bifrontal diameter, midface hypoplasia, broad and depressed nasal bridge, long philtrum
valproic acid
growth deficiency, long smooth philtrum, small palpebral fissures, thin upper lip, in addition to CNS abnormalities like mental retard.
fetal alcohol syndrome
jitteriness, excessive sucking, and hyperactive moro reflex
cocaine in utero
neonatal abstinence syndrome
neonate withdrawal from opiates in the first few days of life; high pitched cry, tremors, seizures, sweating, sneezing, vomitting, diarrhea
Lesch-Nyan syndrome
self mutilation in the presence of dystonia; X-linked recessive; def in HPRT enzyme, leads to increased uric acid
clinical features of Lesch-Nyan syndrome
all due to build up of uric acid; hypotonia, persistent vomitting, progressive mental retard, choreoathetosis, spasticity, dysarthric speech, dystonia and compulsive self-injury; gouty arthritis, tophus formation, and obstructive nephropathy
treatemnt for Lesch-nyan
allopurinol to reduce uric acid levels; patients should also drink lots of fluids
