Study Notes
Clinical Manifestations of Iron Deficiency Anemia
- Blood smear of iron deficiency anemia shows smaller, paler red blood cells (hypo chromic microfluidic).
- Patients with iron deficiency can exhibit clinical manifestations such as vulnerability to angular colitis, characterized by scaling, erythema, and redness at the corners of the mouth.
- Atrophic loss situs, indicated by baldness of the tongue due to loss of papillae, is a feature of iron deficiency anemia.
- Generalized mucosal atrophy in iron deficiency anemia presents as diffuse erythema of the oral mucosa due to thinner epithelium, making blood vessels more visible.
- Severe iron deficiency anemia can lead to Plummer Vincent syndrome, with symptoms including atrophic loss situs, mucosal burning, irritation, and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).
- A patient with iron deficiency anemia had a traumatic esophageal injury from a motor vehicle accident, leading to a restrictive diet and mucosal burning in the mouth.
- The patient's pale conjunctiva and extremely pale oral mucosa indicated severe anemia and reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of blood.
- The patient's diagnosis was confirmed through hematologic studies to assess iron levels, and she received iron infusions for treatment.
- Iron deficiency anemia can occur due to dietary choices, absorption issues, or changes in dietary choices post-injury.
- Angular colitis, characterized by ulcer and redness at the corner of the mouth, is a clinical feature that can be seen in iron deficiency anemia.
- Clinical manifestations of iron deficiency anemia can vary from typical blood smear findings to specific oral and systemic symptoms.
- Identifying clinical manifestations of iron deficiency anemia, such as oral mucosal changes and systemic symptoms, is essential for prompt diagnosis and management.
Oral Manifestations of Crohn's Disease
- Periodical granuloma is another term for granulation tissue
- Granulomatous inflammation is associated with inflammatory bowel diseases
- Granulomatous inflammation can be seen in conditions like ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease
- Crohn's disease can affect the entire GI tract, including the oral cavity
- Oral manifestations of Crohn's disease can include focal erythematous and ulcerated gingiva
- Oral lesions can precede GI lesions in Crohn's disease
- Oral lesions in Crohn's disease can present as redundant tissue folds and ulcerated linear folds in the vestibule
- Crohn's disease is often diagnosed in teenagers or early 20s
- Granulomatous inflammation in Crohn's disease can cause firm, persistent swelling in the lips and buccal mucosa
- Clinical signs of granulomatous inflammation in Crohn's disease include labial fullness, staghorn appearance of Wharton's duct, and pie stomatitis vegetans
- Punctuate ulcerative lesions known as snail track pustules can also be seen in Crohn's disease
- Early detection of oral manifestations of Crohn's disease can be beneficial for patients
