Hematopathology, Set 4

For each of the following patient histories, match the most closely associated lettered hematologic condition that produces anemia:

1. A 20-year-old primigravida from Hanoi, Vietnam, delivers a stillborn fetus at 30 weeks gestation. The stillborn is markedly hydropic, as is the placenta. No congenital anomalies are noted:

2. A 15-year-old adolescent notes the passage of dark urine. He has a history of multiple respiratory infections with Hemophilus influenzae and Escherichia coli over the past several years. He has a history of venous thromboses, including portal vein thrombosis last year. A complete blood count shows a hemoglobin of 9.8 g/dL, hematocrit 29.9%, MCV 92 fL, platelet count 150,000/microliter, and WBC count 3,800/microliter with differential count 24 segs, 1 band, 64 lymphs, 10 monos, and 1 eosinophil. He has a reticulocyte count of 5.5%. His serum haptoglobin is found to be very low:
