Diseases of blood frequently affect soft and hard tissues of mouth with different characteristics.
Oral manifestation of blood disease affect : colour of the mucosa hypertrophy of gingiva mucosal destruction in the form of ulceration ,bleeding and hemorrhage colour of the tooth with red discolouration lymphnode affect the bone with decreased density and enlarged marrow space.
Diseases of blood can be classified as follows: (1) Cellular defects (2) Coagulation defects
b) WBC
Increased
Physiological - leucocytosis Pathological 1. Leukemia 2. Infectious mononucleosis Decreased 1. Leucopenia 2. Agranulocytosis 3. neutropenia
c. Thrombocytes
Decreased Thrombocytopenic purpura Defective Thrombocytopathic purpura
Blood Dyscrasias
Sites of blood cell formation
Blood Dyscrasias
(Formed Elements)
Red Blood Cell (RBC) Disorders White Blood Cell (WBC) Disorders Platelet Deficiencies
Platelet Deficiency
Thrombocytopenia / Thrombocytopathia
Other Bleeding: Epistaxis, Hematemesis, Hemoptysis, Hematuria, Melena Possible Associated Increased Susceptibility to Infection - See Immunosuppression Protocol
Leukemia
Long Term Immunosuppression carries increased Risk for Malignancy (Especially lymphoma and leukemia)
Clinical Bleeding
Petechiae Petechiae and Ecchymoses
Ecchymoses
Clinical Photos
Leukemia
Leukemia
Ulceration
Bleeding Time
N ~ 5 min.
Clotting Time
N = < 5 Minutes
Altered Platelet Function as in ASPIRIN (and other NSAIDs) von Willebrands disease Petechiae are Common Finding
Liver Disease
Cirrhosis, Hepatitis (I and II) + (VII, IX, and X)
Anti-Coagulant Medication
Coumarin (Warfarin) - Vitamin K Antagonist (II, VII, IX, and X) Heparin - Anti-Thrombin / Plasma Thromboplastin
GI Malabsorption Problems
Fat Soluble Vitamin K Deficiency (Sprue or Biliary Disease)
Blood Dyscrasias
Test with Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential White Cell Count (WBC): RBC Count - Normal = 4.5-5.0 Million RBCs / 100 mL WBC Count - Normal = 4 - 6 Thousand WBCs / 100 mL Neutrophils ~ 60 - 65 % Lymphocytes ~ 30 - 35 % Monocytes ~ 4-6 % Eosinophils ~ 1 - 2 % Basophils ~ 0-1 % Platelets = 150 - 600 Thousand / 100 mL
Anemia
Abnormally low hemoglobin Caused by
decreased numbers of RBCs decreased amount of hemoglobin both
Clinical: Weakness, Fatigue, Pallor Decreased Oxygen Carrying Capacity of Blood Result of: Decreased Number, Size, or HgB Content of RBCs or of Defective HgB Secondary to:
Nutritional / Iron Defeciency RBC loss or destruction (Chronic Bleeding) Failure of RBC formation (Leukemia) Hereditary HgB malformation
ANEMIA
Oral Features:
Pallor Bald Tongue
Anemia Classification
Size of RBCs
Microcytic (Small) Macrocytic (Large) Normocytic (Normal Size)
Concentration of Hgb
Hypochromic (Less) Hyperchromic (More) Normochromic (Normal)
Microcytic / Hypochromic
Chronic Blood Loss, Iron Deficiency, Thalassemia
Normocytic / Normochromic
Hemolytic, Aplastic, Myelophthisic, Acute Blood Loss, Chronic Renal Failure
RBC count (RBC) - # RBCs / 100 mL of Blood (NORMAL = 4.5-5.0 Million / 100 mL) Hematocrit (Hct) - % of (RB) Cells By Volume (NORMAL = 36-45%) Hemoglobin (Hgb) - mg / 100 ml of Blood (NORMAL = 13-15 mg/dL) Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) Hct/RBC - Normal = 90 (+or- 10) cubic microliter Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) Hgb/RBC - Normal = 30 (+or- 3) picograms Mean Corpuscular Hgb Concentration (MCHC) Hgb/Hct - Normal = 33 (+or- 2) %
Agranulocytosis
Failure of Formation of Neutrophils
Cyclic Neutropenia
Periodic Suppression of Neutrophil Formation
LEUKEMIA
Leukemia - Definition
Malignancies of WBCs Originating in BONE MARROW Expression in PERIPHERAL BLOOD
Leukemia - Classification
Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) Children Elderly All Ages Adults
Clinical Significance
Disease and Treatment Make Patients Anemic and More Susceptible to Infection and Bleeding Decreased RBC Formation, Ineffective Leukocytes (&/or Leukopenia) and Thrombocytopenia
Leukemia
LYMPHOMA
Cancer of Lymphocytes Lymph Nodes or Extranodal Soft Tissue (including mouth) - NOT Blood or Bone Marrow Classified by:
Hodgkins Disease (with REEDSTERNBERG CELLS) VS. NonHodgkin Lymphoma Type of Lymphocyte: B-cell; Tcell; etc. Maturity of Malignant Cells
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
THE END
Test with Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential White Cell Count (WBC) + Hgb, Hct, and Red Cell Indices: RBC Count - Normal = 4.5-5.0 Million RBCs / 100 mL WBC Count - Normal = 4 - 6 Thousand WBCs / 100 mL Neutrophils ~ 60 - 65 % Lymphocytes ~ 30 - 35 % Monocytes ~ 4-6 % Eosinophils ~ 1 - 2 % Basophils ~ 0-1 % Platelets = 150 - 600 Thousand / 100 mL
Oral lymphomas may present before, concomitantly with, or after lymph node expression.
