haemopoietic precursors in the bone marrow in which the maturation of the
nucleus is delayed relative to that of the cytoplasm.

59
2B. FOLATE DEF. ANEMIA
•RDA 400µgm. (Diet)
•Normal serum folate is 6-12 ng/ml.
•Hyperpigm of skin, mucosa
•Below 4ng/ml is diagnostic of folate deficiency + normal levels of MMA
1.Measurement of forminoglutamic acid (FIGLU) urinary excretion after oral
administration of histidine. Its excretion is increased if folate def. is present.
Because folic acid is required for conversion of FIGLU to glutamic acid.
2.Serum Folate Assay : by microbiological & radioassay.
TREATMENT
1-5 mg FA daily, Orally.
60
3. APLASTIC ANAEMIA
Paul Ehrlich, introduced the concept of aplastic anemia in 1888.
1n 1904 it was termed as aplastic anemia by Chauffard.
Pancytopenia +Hypocellular bone marrow
Normal hematopoietic tissue in the bone marrow has been replaced by fatty
marrow.
Acquired/ Genetic
Mucosal pallor, gingival bleeding, hyperplasia, mucosal ulceration. 61
INVESTIGATIONS
1. Anaemia – Hb level <10gm. Blood picture shows normocytic normochromic red
cells. Reticulocyte count is reduced or zero.
2. Leucopenia – Neutophil < 500/Cu.mm with relative lymphocytosis.
3. Thrombocytopenia – platelet count <20,000/µL, Prolonged bleeding time
4. Bone marrow aspiration – reduction of myeloid cells, megakaryocytes & erythroid
cells.

62
APLASTIC ANEMIAS
4. HAEMOLYTIC ANAEMIAS
 Results from an increased destruction of RBC.
 Qualitative defect -- Sickle cell Anaemia
64
65
Destruction of fetal blood - r/n between maternal and fetal blood factors.
 Inheritance by the fetus of a blood factor from the father that acts as a foreign antigen
to the mother.
 Rh factor, named after the rhesus monkey, was discovered by Landsteiner and wiener
in 1940 as a factor in human RBC that would react with rabbit antiserum produced by
administration of RBC from the rhesus monkey.
ERYTHROBLASTOSIS FETALIS
66
PATHOGENESIS
Transplacental transfer of this antigen, transplacental leaks of RBC
From the fetus to the mother
Immunization of the mother, formation of antibodies which
When transferred back to the fetus by the same route
Produce fetal hemolysis
• If both parents are homozygously Rh positive→ infant will be Rh positive → no
maternal immunization.
• If mother is homozygously positive but father is Rh negative → no maternal
immunization.
• If father is Rh- positive and mother is Rh- negative → fetus inherits parental factor,
which may act as an antigen to the mother and immunize her with resultant Ab
formation.
67
68
CLINICAL FEATURES
• Some infants are stillborn.
• Anemia with pallor, Jaundice
• Compensatory erythropoiesis
• Fetal hydrops
ORAL MANIFESTATION
• Deposition of blood pigments in the enamel and dentin (green/brown/blue)
• Ground sections- positive test for bilirubin
• Intrinsic stains
• Enamel hypoplasia
• Rh hump
69
Laboratory findings
• RBC count decreased, large number of normoblasts or nucleated red cells
• Icterus index high
• Positive direct coombs test on cord blood
Treatment
• At present, Rh-negative mothers are being given anti-D gamma globulin to prevent
immunization
SICKLE CELLANEMIA
MC Hereditary chronic hemolytic
anemia
Mendalian dominant, nongender linked
Exclusively - Mediterranean origin.
A concordance exists between the
prevalence of Malaria and HbS
HbA is genetically altered to produce
HbS,
Substitution of valine for glutamine at
the sixth position of the β globin chain
Homozygous, Heterozygous 70
 RBCs - normal biconcave discoid shape distorted, generally presenting a sickle-like shape.
 Reduces both their plasticity and lifetime from normal 120 days average down to 14 days.
 This results in the underlying anemia and hypertrophic bone marrow.
 In heterozygote- 40% of hemoglobin is HbS, 60% HbA
 In homozygote- nearly all hemoglobin is HbS
