Cats with induced sterile abscesses developed a hematologic disorder consistent with anemia of inflammation. Serum iron concentrations decreased while the abscess was present, but erythropoietin concentrations did not change significantly. Cobalt administration to control (healthy) cats resulted in
BACKGROUND
An increasing prevalence of reticulocytosis in the absence of anemia (RAA) in dogs has been suspected in recent years.
OBJECTIVE
The objectives were to determine whether prevalence of RAA in our canine population has been increasing over the last years, and to identify potential
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the proportion of blood samples diagnosed with reticulocytosis without anaemia in cats and dogs and report the aetiology and mortality rate of affected animals.
METHODS
Retrospective multicentre study including haematological examination of 3956 cats and 11,087 dogs admitted to
Patients surviving sepsis develop anemia, but the molecular mechanism is unknown. Here we observed that mice surviving polymicrobial gram-negative sepsis develop hypochromic, microcytic anemia with reticulocytosis. The bone marrow of sepsis survivors accumulates polychromatophilic and orthochromatic
Certain derivatives of the 8-aminoquinolines have been shown to affect some blood constituents and haemopoiesis, to induce functional changes in the central nervous system, and to cause other organ lesions. The 8-aminoquinolines vary widely in their toxicity and ability to induce tissue damage in
BACKGROUND
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an idiopathic, multisystem disorder characterized by vasculitis of arteries, veins, and capillaries, affecting pediatric patients, and is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in childhood. The mainstays of therapy for KD are high-dose intravenous
BACKGROUND
The contribution of pro-inflammatory cytokines to the pathogenesis of malarial anemia has been studied extensively but the roles of Th2 cytokines remain unknown. Here, we investigated the role of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)6-mediated responses in erythropoietic
Feeding cadmium chloride (50 or 1000 ppm CdCl2 in drinking water, ad libitum) to C57BL/6 mice resulted in a significant and sustained fall in blood erythrocyte count and hemoglobin levels that started 4 and 3 weeks after the start of 50 and 1000 ppm cadmium doses respectively. A transient yet
Severe malarial anemia is the most common syndrome of severe malaria in endemic areas. The pathophysiology of chronic malaria is characterised by a striking degree of abnormal development of erythroid precursors (dyserythropoiesis) and an inadequate erythropoietic response in spite of elevated
Case records of 26 patients with Lyell Syndrome were reviewed for studying haematologic abnormalities. Eosinophilia, neutropenia, thrombopenia were uncommon. Circulating immature granulocytic cells were frequently encountered during the second week of evolution, mostly when leucocytosis was present.
Tolmetin, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, was found to be the etiologic agent in a case of drug-induced hemolytic anemia. A 35-year-old female who had ingested tolmetin sporadically in the past took two doses that resulted in acute hemolysis. Two days after taking the second dose, she had a
Abnormal iron metabolism, characterized by low serum iron concentration and diminished saturation of iron-binding capacity, is known to occur in patients with malignant or inflammatory diseases. In this study, serum iron concentration and iron-binding capacity were measured in 21 patients with
Sulphasalazine impairs folic acid absorption and metabolism but rarely leads to folate deficiency in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), however, serum and red cell folate concentrations are often low and sulphasalazine might stress folate metabolism. In a prospective
The single-dose and repeated-exposure toxicity of a synthetic mixture of 30 nitrotoluene analogs, representative of a complex industrial wastewater termed condensate water, was evaluated in dogs, rats, and mice. The single-dose oral LD50s for the synthetic condensate water (CW) were 447 and 295
BACKGROUND Hyperkalemia is an important cause of arrhythmias and a medical emergency that requires urgent treatment. The etiology is usually multifactorial. It is most frequently caused by impaired potassium secretion, followed by transcellular potassium shifts and an increased potassium load. CASE
