PRESENTATION CYTOPENIASTUMOURSBLEEDERSCLOTTERS
CYTOPENIAS- PLATELETS • ITP • TTP • DIC • Dysplasia • Drugs • Hypersplenism • Aplasia • Infections- granulomatous eg TB- fungus etc • Tumours
WORK UP-ITP • FBC with smear: • true thrombocytopenia vs clumps • Size of platelets, granules ( dysplasia) • Other cells:malignant, infections ( bacteria, malaria) • Fragments • Leucoerythroblastic reaction
WORK UP - ITP • INR & PTT • CD 4 • ANF • BMBx • Sonar - asses splenic size AND SPLENIC VEIN SIZE
CYTOPENIAS - ANEAMIA • When to investigate: 11g/dL , 10g/dL, 9g/dL, 8g/dL • Causes: production deficit or peripheral destruction or both • HAEMATINIC SCREEN • RPI, Haptoglobin, Coombs,LDH, +/- SPEP • BMBx
CAUSES - ANEAMIA • ACD • Drugs- AZT/ Bactrim • Infections - Parvovirus / HBV/ HCV/CMV/ HIV • PRCA - Drugs( ARV's rare), T cell auto immunity • BM displaced by tumour • AIHA - cold/ warm/ both
TUMOURS • Hodgkin's lymphoma - AIDS defining • High grade B Cell NHL- AIDS defining • T Cell NHL ( ALC & T Angioimmunoblastic) • Low grade B Cell • Other ( CML, myeloma) • Karposi's - AIDS defining
