Hereditary spherocytosis.
Hereditary spherocytosis is a common inherited disorder that is characterised by anaemia, jaundice, and splenomegaly. It is reported worldwide and is the most common inherited anaemia in individuals of northern European ancestry. Clinical severity is variable with most patients having a well-compensated haemolytic anaemia. Some individuals are asymptomatic, whereas others have severe haemolytic...
متن کاملHereditary spherocytosis.
Hereditary spherocytosis is a congenital haemolytic anaemia due to defect in spectrin-a RBC membrane protein and is transmitted as autosomal dominant. Due to this defect there is presence of characteristic spherical cell in peripheral blood smear and osmotic fragility is increased. Haemolytic anaemia, reticulocytosis, jaundice and splenomegaly are present. This article reports a case of a 9 yea...
متن کاملHereditary Spherocytosis
A 12-year-old girl was brought to the Dhaka Hospital of ICDDR,B with diarrhoea. Incidentally, the parents provided a history of repeated episodes of pallor and jaundice since she was two and half years old. Three of her family members had similar problems. History, clinical examination, and laboratory findings of the girl and her family members suggested a case of hereditary spherocytosis. To o...
متن کاملErythrocyte lipid loss in hereditary spherocytosis.
Probable manifestations of the intrinsic corpuscular defect leading to shortened red blood cell (RBC) survival in hereditary spherocytosis (HS) have been induced by in vitro incubation of these erythrocytes (2-4). The classical in vitro changes that have been described are a marked increase in autohemolysis in the absence of metabolized substrate and an increase in osmotic fragility. Young, Izz...
متن کاملRed cell survival studies in hereditary spherocytosis.
The in vivo survival of hereditary spherocytes has been investigated with the (51)Cr red cell survival technique. Spherocytes invariably showed a shorter survival in a normal recipient than in the donor's own circulation. Moreover transfusion of spherocytes from a mother to her son, both with hereditary spherocytosis, showed that "foreign" spherocytes have a shorter survival than the "self" sph...
