Slide 7
Answers Station 3
 Vitamin B12: Intramuscular 100-200 mcg
biweekly or 1000 mcg weekly x 4 to 8 weeks,
followed by oral dose of 100 mcg per day.
 Folic acid: 0.5 to 1 mg or more daily; 5 mg
per week will also be effective. To be given
for 4-8 weeks.

Station 9
A 5 yr boy c/o pallor and passing dark-colored urine. Three
days prior the patient had low-grade fever and dry cough.
Initial CBC revealed a Hemoglobin level of 4.5 g/dL, an Hct
of 14%, a WBC count of 9,100/mm3. (N76%, L14%, M8%,
E1%) and a platelet count of 372,000/mm3. The patient had
been diagnosed with Hemoglobin H disease since 18
months of age. He had received 2 blood transfusions when
he had fever and acute anemia. Both parents are
thalassemia carriers.
Physical examination: Temp- 38.3 C, Markedly pale
Heart: Syst. ejection murmur grade II/VI at lt upper sternum
Abdomen: Splenohepatomegaly

 What is the diagnosis?
 What may be the trigger
for this crises?

Answers Station 9
 Hb H/Hb CS disease with hemolytic crisis

Slide 21
Station 10
 2 yr old child was evaluated for anemia
and found to have a reticulocyte count
of 20% and a PCV of 25%.
 Calculate the Reticulocyte production
index taking maturation time as 2 days
and assuming a normal PCV of 0.45
 What does this signify? (In terms of
production rate)

© 2003 By Default!
Slide 22
Answers Station 10
 RPI- Reticulocyte % x Observed
PCV(0.25)
 Maturation time x Normal PCV (0.45)
 It comes = 5.5
 It signifies that production has increased to 5.5
times

Station 13
 Give the full form of SQUID and what it is best used
for?
 Give the full form of NESTROF and what it is used
for?
 What is the principle used in NESTROF test?

© 2003 By Default!
Slide 29
Answer Station 13
 SQUID- Super-conducting Quantum Interference
Device & Provides the most accurate and best-
validated non-invasive method for measuring liver
iron
 NESTROF- Naked Eye Single Tube Red Cell
Osmotic Fragility Test and it is usefull in screening
for beta-thalassaemia and some of the common
haemoglobinopathies
 The principle of NESTROF is based on the limit of
hypotonicity which the red cell can withstand.
