A New Method for Studying Splenic Reticuloendothelial Dysfunction in Sickle Cell
Differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy (Nomarsky optics) readily demonstrates the formation of “pits” or crater-like depressions in red cell membranes of splenectomized individuals. Splenic reticuloendothelial dysfunction characteristic of many patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) can be demonstrated by technetium spleen scans, but this technique is expensive, requires injection...
متن کاملHowell-Jolly bodies on peripheral smear leading to the diagnosis of congenital hyposplenism in a patient with septic shock
We present a case of isolated congenital hyposplenism that was discovered after the peripheral smear revealed Howell-Jolly bodies. This case serves as the basis for a review of hyposplenism for the general practitioner.
متن کاملSplenic state in surviving patients with visceral heterotaxy.
AIM To identify patients with visceral heterotaxy who are at risk from fulminant sepsis. METHODS We studied 38 patients, 37 having undergone abdominal ultrasound, all 38 having examination of blood films to establish presence of Howell-Jolly bodies, and all 38 documented to have had pneumococcal vaccination and prophylaxis with penicillin. We checked whether the parents were aware of the sple...
متن کاملHowell-Jolly bodies in idiopathic steatorrhoea.
Large numbers of Howell-Jolly bodies were found in the bone marrow and peripheral blood, both before and after corrective haematinic therapy, in three patients with idiopathic steatorrhoea with associated splenic atrophy, who presented with megaloblastic anaemia. The proportion of erythrocytes containing Howell-Jolly bodies was much higher in these patients when compared with the number found i...
متن کاملA case of thoracic splenosis in a post-splenectomy patient following abdominal trauma: Hello Howell–Jolly
Seeding of splenic tissue to extra-abdominal sites is a relatively infrequent consequence of open abdominal trauma. Immunological function of these small foci of ectopic splenic tissue is unknown and their use in determining the splenic function may be limited. In this case report, a patient is described who had previously undergone an emergency splenectomy. The absence of Howell-Jolly bodies o...
