“platelet trapping” and platelet consumption associated with DIC.
Platelet trapping demonstrated by immunohistochemical staining of the tumors with anti-CD61 antibodies
Bleeding Diathesis
EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME
autosomal-dominant, recessive or x linked disorder characterized by hyper distensible joints and fragile skin
MARFAN SYNDROME
Autosomal-dominant
Genetic disorder due to mutation of the gene for fibrillin resulting in abnormalities of connective tissues and risk for bleeding and bruising
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum
autosomal recessive mutations in the ABC6 gene on the short arm of chromosome 16
disorder causes fragmentation and mineralization of elastic fibers in some tissues
LF: Test usually are not helpful in the diagnosis except to rule other causes of the clinical abnormalities.
TX: No known therapy
The most common problems arise in the skin and eyes, and later in blood vessels in the form of premature atherosclerosis
OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
mutation of genes which code for peptides of type 1 collagen; individuals may demonstrate easy bruising, epistaxis, hemoptysis and intracranial bleeding
ACQUIRED VASCULAR DISORDERS
Allergic Purpura (Henoch Schoenlein)
Paraproteinemia and Amyloidosis
Senile Purpura Drug
Induced vascular purpura
Vitamin C Deficiency (Scurvy)
PURPURA
red blood cell extravasation into mucosa or skin, results from various conditions, including rheumatologic, infectious, dermatologic, traumatic and hematologic disorders
ALLERGICPURPURAS / ANAPHYLACTOID PURPURA
syndrome characterized by a relatively distinctive purpuric eruption in association with various constitutional and localized symptoms.
Associated with: certain foods, drugs, cold, insect bites.
The disorder is the result of an autoimmune process or allergic vasculitis (Ex. Henoch-Schonlein Purpura)
Nonthrombocytopenic purpura characterized by allergic manifestation
skin rash and edema
Henoch- Schönlein Purpura
It is commonly seen in children; renal dysfunction is common and typically reversible in children
involves the skin, GIT, kidneys, heart and CNS
involvement of capillaries with diffuse infiltration of neutrophils, lypmhocytes and macrophages.
Ecthymagangrenosum
Septic emboli to the skin
embolus
anything that moves through blood vessels until it gets stuck in a vessel that’s too small to pass through and stops the blood flow.
two-prongedattack on your body
They completely block or partially reduce blood flow.
The blockage includes an infectious agent.
PurpuraFulminans
A unique disorder characterized by sudden onset, fever, prostration, symmetric circumscribed ecchymoses and infarcts of the skin and frequently by gangrene of the extremities
The major initiating factor appears to be diffused vascular injury and intra-vascular coagulation
Waldenstrom’s Purpura
a disorder of women that presents with recurrent purpura on the lower extremities and resultant hemosiderin staining of the skin similar to Schambergs
Cryoglobulinemia
caused by production of cryoprecipitable serum proteins or protein complexes (result from primary plasma cell dyscrasias or from hepatitis C)
Hyperviscosity Syndrome
results from hypergammaglobulinemia owing to an increase in plasma viscosity.
The clinical presentation of hyperviscosity syndrome consists principally of the triad of mucosal bleeding, visualchanges, and neurologic symptoms
Amyloidosis
deposition of amyloid protein around small blood vessels
Low factor X levels from binding of Factor X to amyloid fibrils, hyperfibrinolysis related to excessive urokinase activity and platelet function alterations may enhance bleeding tendencies.
SENILE PURPURA
seen in older individuals, or in individuals undergoing corticosteroid therapy; purpuric lesions occur on the hand and arms
DRUGINDUCED PURPURA
This is a purpura induced by iodides,
quinine, procaine, penicillin, and aspirin.
SCURVY
caused by a deficiency in Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and decreased synthesis of collagen with weakening of capillary walls.
Physical Findings: Gingival bleeding, hemorrhage into subcutaneous tissue. Petechiae – on the thighs
Treatment: Administration of ascorbic acid
Without Vit. C
collagen cannot be formed properly hydroxylation of. Amino acid proline and lysine cannot take place
PURPURA SIMPLEX
Simple purpura, Devil’s pinches, Simple vascular or vascular fragility occurs as a result of skin fragility. Bleeding is superficial Laboratory tests are normal
PSYCHOGENIC PURPURA
is seen in individuals with emotional problems, often after severe trauma or extensive surgery, which may be hypersensitive to RBC membrane components or DNA hypersensitivit
HEREDITARY HEMORRHAGIC TELANGIECTASIA Also known as
Osler-Weber-Rendu Syndrome
HHT Treatment are
Oral iron - Anemia / To stop or prevent bleeding: Therapeutic Drugs , Surgical Technique
EHLER'S DANLOS LF
Coagulation Test & Platelet count = NORMAL
EHLER'S DANLOS PF
Large skin ecchymosis and Hematomas, bleeding from the gums, GIT bleeding.
SCOLIOSIS
In marfan syn, what is the med term for abn mature of spine
OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
Often referred as brittle bone disease
Ecthyma gangrenosum
Cutaneous infection arises in immunocompromise person with fulminans
