Study Notes
Haemolytic Disease of the Foetus and Newborn
- A 34-year-old woman with blood group O positive has a baby with blood group A negative.
- The baby’s red blood cells are destroyed by maternal anti-A antibodies, leading to haemolytic disease of the foetus and newborn.
- Haemolytic disease of the foetus and newborn (HDFN) causes jaundice.
Oophorectomy
- Oophorectomy is the surgical removal of an ovary.
- The ovarian vessels are found within the suspensory ligament of the ovary.
- During an oophorectomy, ligation of the ovarian vessels is required to prevent excessive bleeding.
Iron Deficiency Anemia
- A 37-year-old housewife presents with shortness of breath and fatigue.
- Low serum ferritin supports a diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia.
- Iron deficiency anemia is characterized by a lack of iron in the body, which is necessary for red blood cell production.
CNS Infections
- Cryptococcus neoformans can infect the CNS via the olfactory tract.
- Naegleria fowleri is a parasitic amoeba responsible for amoebic meningoencephalitis, which is acquired through swimming in contaminated water and enters the body through the nasal passage.
- Herpes simplex virus can infect the CNS via the olfactory tract.
- Rabies virus can enter the CNS through the peripheral nerves.
