Part I:
A 10-year-old boy is admitted to the emergency department with a badly swollen knee and hematuria. He has had frequent severe bleeding since birth.
PT: 12.2 sec
APTT: 98.2 sec
PLT: 389 ´109/L
Bleeding time: 4 min
The results of the proposed additional studies were as follows:
Factor VIII assay: 5%
Factor IX assay: 110%
1. Interpret the coagulation screening tests and additional tests.
2. Based on all the data provided, what condition is most likely?
3. What information is most diagnostic?
4. What conditions are ruled out by the normal bleeding time?
5. Why are factor VIII and IX assays run?
1.interpretation:
PT: Normal
aPTT: Prolong/ incest
PLT: Normal
Bleeding time : normal
Factor 9: normally
Factor 8: reduced
2. Which condition:
Hemophilia A
3. prolong aptt and reduced factor VIII suggest hemophilia A.
4. Hemophilia won't affect bleeding time, only it affect clotting time.
5. Factor VIII for hemophilia A
Factor IX for hemophilia B.

This is the case of a 4 year old boy who presents with the recent history of vomiting blood one week after a tonsillectomy. Two years ago he bit his tongue and it bled one week. His maternal grandfather has a history of frequent bleeding problems. His mother, father, and two sisters have no bleeding problems. INITIAL LABORATORY TESTS: Hct: 30.0% WBC: 5,300 mm³ Platelet count: 395,000 mm³ Bleeding time: normal Clot retraction: good at 2 and 24 hours PT:...
A 16-month-old male is brought to his pediatrician for a check-up. His mom has noticed that he seems to bruise easily and it has become more apparent since he has started walking and climbing. Physical exam reveals a few ecchymoses but is otherwise unremarkable. Questioning revealed that two maternal uncles were “bleeders”. The child is not on any medications. A CBC was ordered—the results were as expected for a child his age. A coagulation screening panel was also ordered. The...

• 15-year-old male, Mohammed, from Saudi Arabia - Admitted to the ER after automobile accident . Several superficial cuts and bruises on head and arms • Bleeding profusely, more bleeding than expected from the nature of his wounds . Consider possible causes of this abnormal bleeding and the lab tests that might be used to differentiate and diagnose the cause. • Petechiae were noted on Mohammed's extremities.

A 65-year-old man has chills, high spiking fevers, cough, and signs of consolidation in the left lower lobe of his lung. Blood is drawn for a CBC, sputum is collected for Gram stain and culture, and a chest X-ray film is obtained.
