Giant platelet disorders, also known as macrothrombocytopenia, are rare disorders featuring abnormally large platelets, thrombocytopenia and a tendency to bleeding. Giant platelets cannot stick adequately to injured blood vessel walls, resulting in abnormal bleeding when injured. Giant platelet disorder occurs for inherited diseases like ...
Frequency. ~ 1 in 15,000 people a year (> 50 years old)[2] Giant cell arteritis(GCA), also called temporal arteritis, is an inflammatoryautoimmune diseaseof large blood vessels. [4][7]Symptoms may include headache, pain over the temples, flu-like symptoms, double vision, and difficulty opening the mouth.[3]
Feline disease refers to infections or illnesses that affect cats. They may cause symptoms, sickness or the death of the animal. Some diseases are symptomatic in one cat but asymptomatic in others. Feline diseases are often opportunistic and tend to be more serious in cats that already have concurrent sicknesses.
Less than 100 cases have been reported. [3] Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (CAMT) is a rare autosomal recessive bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by severe thrombocytopenia, which can progress to aplastic anemia and leukemia. [4] CAMT usually manifests as thrombocytopenia in the initial month of life or in the fetal phase.
Feline arterial thromboembolism. Feline arterial thromboembolism (FATE syndrome) (German: Feline arterielle Thromboembolie) is a disease of the domestic cat in which blood clots (thrombi) block arteries, causing severe circulatory problems. Relative to the total number of feline patients, the disease is rare, but relatively common in cats with ...
First reported in 1980 by J. Tuttle in a scientific article, feline hyperesthesia syndrome, also known as rolling skin disease, is a complex and poorly understood syndrome that can affect domestic cats of any age, breed, and sex. [1][2][3][4][5] The syndrome may also be referred to as feline hyperaesthesia syndrome, apparent neuritis, atypical ...
Harris platelet syndrome was identified among healthy blood donors in the north-eastern part of the Indian subcontinent, characterized by absent bleeding symptoms, mild to severe thrombocytopenia (platelets rarely < 50 × 10 9 /L) with giant platelets (Mean platelet volume 10fL) and normal platelet aggregation studies with absent MYH9 mutation.
Evans syndrome. Evans syndrome is an autoimmune disease in which an individual's immune system attacks their own red blood cells and platelets, the syndrome can include immune neutropenia. [1][2] These immune cytopenias may occur simultaneously or sequentially. [1][3] Its overall phenotype resembles a combination of autoimmune hemolytic anemia ...
