Waldenström macroglobulinemia is a lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. A serum monoclonal IgM protein is required to establish this diagnosis. The clinical features patients develop include normochromic normocytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy and signs of hyperviscosity. The International Staging System for Waldenström macroglobulinemia divides patients prognostically ...

Chickens inoculated with a transplantable lymphoid tumor developed a progressive anemia that was classified morpho logically as normochromic and normocytic. The bone marrow showed normal cellularity with no evidence of tumor metastasis, and immature erythrocytes were not detected in the peripheral blood. (Increased serum transferrin was corre lated with a decline in both packed cell volume and ...

Erythema ab igne (EAI) is a dermatosis characterised by reticulate red-brown pigmentation and telengiectasia resulting from long-term exposure to infrared radiation. It generally occurs in individuals using heating devices in the winter, those who frequently use hot compresses, and those who prefer hot environments. It generally occurs on the feet of women but may also occur on the hips and thi...

Background: Hematological abnormalities are a common complication of HIV infection and occur in all stages of the infection. These abnormalities increase as the disease advances. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic utility of bone marrow sampling in HIV-positive patients. Methods: 40 HIV-infected individuals were screened for hematological abnormalities. Investigations such as iron studies, he...

In the present study adult patients with anemia were analysed for thalassemia syndromes and other haemoglobino pathies by using high performance liquid chromatography. A total of 102 Patients’ blood samples evaluated complete count, RBC indices, reticulocyte count peripheral film morphology. For confirmation characterization hemoglobinopathy, ‘BIORAD VARIANT II’ HPLC instrument CDM software was...

W E REPORTED EARLIER1 that scorbutic guinea pigs showed normocytic and normochromic anemia with normoblastic reaction of bone marrow, diminished plasma iron, decreased iron binding capacity of plasma, increased free erythrocyte protopofl)hyrin and a low sideroblast percentage with high hemosiderin content of bone marrow. These changes could not be attributed to inanition, intestinal hemorrhage,...
