splenomegaly/edema

Acute pulmonary edema, splenomegaly, and ascites were observed in a disease outbreak in adult white and pearl guinea fowl. The clinical history and gross and microscopic lesions resembled those described for marble spleen disease of pheasants and avian adenovirus group II splenomegaly of chickens. A

We report a case of scarlet fever associated with hepatitis, gallbladder hydrops, splenomegaly, and ascites in a 15-year-old girl. The girl presented with fever and skin rash. Leukocyte, liver enzyme, and serum C-reactive protein concentrations were elevated. Ultrasonography revealed marked

A patient with gamma heavy chain disease (Franklin's disease) was discovered during evaluation for pancytopenia and splenomegaly. Lymphadenopathy, palatal edema, and infiltration of the bone marrow palatal edema, and infiltration of the bone marrow with abnormal cells were all absent. Serum and

POEMS syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic disorder. A 60-year-old female patient was admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University (Changsha, China), complaining of abdominal distension, severe edema of both lower limbs and shortness of breath for more

We describe a novel inherited disorder consisting of idiopathic massive splenomegaly, cytopenias, anhidrosis, chronic optic nerve edema, and vision loss. This disorder involves three affected patients in a single non-consanguineous Caucasian family, a mother and two daughters, who are half-sisters.

Hb Constant Spring (Hb CS, HBA2: c.427T > C) is a common nondeletional α-thalassemia (α-thal) that results from a nucleotide substitution at the termination codon of the α2-globin gene. Homozygosity for Hb CS (α(CS)α/α(CS)α) is relatively rare, and generally characterized with mild hemolytic anemia,

Congenital dyserythropoietic anemias (CDAs) are a group of hereditary refractory anemias characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis, typical morphological abnormalities of erythroblasts, a low or no reticulocyte response, hyperbilirubinemia, and splenomegaly. A massive hydropic newborn born with a

Hb Constant Spring (Hb CS; HBA2: c.427T > C) is an unstable hemoglobin (Hb) variant that results from a nucleotide substitution at the termination codon of the α2-globin gene. Compound heterozygosity for α(0)-thalassemia (α(0)-thal) and Hb CS (- -(SEA)/α(CS)α) results in Hb H/Hb CS disease, which is

A syndrome which is known as plasma cell dyscrasia with polyneuropathy and various endocrine manifestations or plasma cell dyscrasia with polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, abnormal M protein and skin changes is very interesting because this syndrome has miscellaneous manifestations such

Chickens were infected with an avian adenovirus group II isolate previously obtained from chickens exhibiting splenomegaly in commercial broiler flocks. The isolate was inoculated orally in 6-week-old experimental chickens, which were euthanatized and necropsied 6 days postinoculation. The primary

Congenital transient leukaemia (CTL) is a haematological disorder characterized by proliferation of myeloblasts within the bone marrow and peripheral blood of affected newborns. Infants with Down syndrome are most frequently affected and although the disorder can result in fetal death due to

"Marble spleen disease" of chickens was diagnosed in 22-week-old chickens. Total mortality was 8.9%. Deaths occurred over a period of 2 months. Gross lesions included pulmonary congestion, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, and congestion of egg follicles. Microscopic lesions included pulmonary congestion

BACKGROUND Radiographic findings of dengue fever have not yet been clearly elucidated in relation to clinical and serological findings, despite the fact that two-fifths of the world population lives in areas where the virus is endemic. The current study is a retrospective analysis of

BACKGROUND Thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fever, reticulin fibrosis/renal failure, and organomegaly (TAFRO) syndrome is a variant of idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease. Adrenal hemorrhage has rarely been reported in TAFRO syndrome, and previous cases have mainly been Asian patients. This report
