Study Notes

Case Studies in Medicine

  • A 58-year-old woman complains of spontaneous bruises, weakness, bleeding gums, and dizziness, with pale mucous membranes and skin, and numerous hemorrhages of various times of origin.
  • Laboratory test results: RBC-3, 0 · 1012/l, Hb- 92 g/l, color index - 0,9, anisocytosis, poikilocytosis, WBC- 10 · 109/l, eosinophils - 2%, stab neutrophils - 12%, segmented neutrophils - 68%, lymphocytes 11%, monocytes - 7%, ESR- 12 mm/h.

Diagnostic Tests

  • To diagnose the patient's condition, a laboratory test for platelets should be performed additionally.
  • In another case, a lymph node biopsy revealed giant Berezovsky-Reed-Sternberg cells, polymorphocellular granuloma composed of lymphocytes, reticular cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, fibrous tissue, and plasma cells.

Diagnosis and Treatment

  • The most likely diagnosis for the patient with enlarged lymph nodes and hepatomegaly is Hodgkin's disease.
  • A 60-year-old woman with weakness, vertigo, rapid fatigability, and pale and icteric skin and mucous membranes may be prescribed Vitamin B12 on pathogenetic grounds.
  • A 45-year-old man with duodenal ulcer disease, weakness, dizziness, and dryness of the skin may have anemia, and iron preparations may be prescribed.

Cardiovascular Diseases

  • A 56-year-old patient with cardiac tamponade requires optimal treatment tactics, including pericardiocentesis and immediate thoracotomy.
  • A 19-year-old patient with dyspnea during physical exertion, cardiac murmur, and frequent bronchitis and pneumonia may have a cardiac defect.
  • A patient with atrial fibrillation after an ischemic stroke caused by cardiac embolism may be prescribed oral anticoagulants as secondary prevention drugs.
  • A 16-year-old boy with dizziness, heart rate of 35/min, and blood pressure of 85/45 mm Hg may have complete atrioventricular block (III degree).

Complications and Side Effects

  • A 42-year-old patient who developed back pain, darkened urine, general weakness, and dizziness after treating a cold with aspirin and ampicillin may have acquired hemolytic anemia.
  • An 18-year-old patient with a history of intense bleedings from minor cuts and sores, and an increase in volume of the right knee joint, limitation of its mobility, and anemia (Hb- 120 g/l) may have a bleeding disorder.
