/ALREADY GRADED A+
HIV is transmitted through what? - ANSWERdirect contact with body fluids or blood
An infection that can occur during HIV stage - ANSWERPneumocystis Pneumonia
Acute retroviral symptoms - ANSWERflu-like symptoms
decreased CD4+
high viral load >1 million
high transmission potential
shallow, demarcated ulcers on mouth, anus, penis, and rectum
When is it recommended to start HAART therapy? - ANSWERCD4+ <350
Normal CD4+ count - ANSWER500-1500
CD4+ count in HIV - ANSWER<500
CD4+ count in AIDS - ANSWER<200
AIDS symptoms - ANSWERlymphadenopathy
diarrhea
weight loss
fever
cough, SOB
Diagnosis of HIV/AIDS - ANSWERp24 testing- can be positive within 6 weeks after
infection
If p24 is positive, then HIV-1/HIV-2 antibody differentiation immunoassay should be
done to confirm
What causes an autoimmune disorder? - ANSWERthe body's normal defense becomes
self-destructive by failing to identify self-antigens with the host from nonself foreign
antigens
microcytic anemia - ANSWERMCV <80
normal amount of RBC, but they are smaller than usual due to decreased hgb
,normocytic anemia - ANSWERMCV 80-95
normal sized RBC, just a decreased number of them
macrocytic anemia - ANSWERMCV >100
normal amount of RBC, they are larger than usual due to increased hgb
what kind of anemia is iron deficiency anemia - ANSWERmicrocytic
iron deficiency anemia - ANSWERthe supply of iron needed to produce hgb is
inadequate
S/S of iron deficiency anemia - ANSWERdecreased H/H
gradual fatigue
increasing SOB
causes of iron deficiency anemia - ANSWERNSAIDS
colon cancer
strict vegan
frequent blood donor
GI tract conditions (PUD, gastric cancer, Crohns, colitis)
types of microcytic anemia - ANSWERiron deficiency anemia
blood loss anemia
Thalassemia
lead poisonings
Treatment of iron deficiency anemia - ANSWERincrease iron rich foods and vitamin C
to help absorb it
Food high in iron - ANSWERliver
red meat
fish
beans
raisins
eggs
almonds
green leafy veggies
Food high in vitamin C - ANSWERcauliflower
tomatoes
apples
oranges
Ferritin and TIBC in iron deficiency anemia - ANSWER-decreased ferritin and iron levels
(if iron is low, there is nothing for it to bind to resulting in low ferritin levels)
, -increased TIBC (or transferrin) so that more iron can be delivered since there is not
much to bind to
What does TIBC do? - ANSWERtransports iron in blood
What does ferritin do? - ANSWERbinds to iron
Most common cause of Iron deficiency anemia - ANSWERGI tract blood loss
Thalassemia - ANSWERblood disorder that causes less hemoglobin
it is inherited
Normocytic anemias - ANSWERbleeding, nutritional anemia
anemia of renal insufficiency, hemolysis
anemia of chronic disease, a primary bone marrow disorder
examples of normocytic anemia - ANSWERaplastic anemia
endocrine disorders (hypothyroidism)
acquired aphasia (parvo, HIV, medications)
Macrocytic anemias - ANSWERmegaloblastic anemia (vitamin B12 and folic acid
deficiency)
pernicious anemia
drug induced
nutritional
MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome) or other bone marrow disorders
liver disease or alcoholism
hypothyroidism
hemolysis
megaloblastic anemia - ANSWERa blood disorder characterized by anemia in which the
red blood cells are larger than normal
common in alcoholics
foot slap gait common in folate deficiency (sensory ataxia)
Lhermitte's sign (neck pain shooting down back and into arms)
Lhermitte's sign - ANSWERneck pain shooting down the back and into the arms
Pernicious anemia - ANSWERvitamin B12 deficiency from the intestines lacking intrinsic
factor to absorb B12
there is enough of it in the body, just not being absorbed properly
DIC (Disseminated Intravascular Coagulaiton) - ANSWERactivation of coagulation
pathways that results in intravascular thrombi and depletion of platelets and coagulation
factors
all clotting factors used up too quickly and patient bleeds out
