Name :        Ch.Divya Roll no: 24 Posted from 11/08/22 to 11/10/22 My learning experience : During units duty Case 1 https://divyaraju26.blogspot.com/2022/09/15-year-old-male-with-fever-and-burning.html My orientation around this case: 1.What could be the possible cause if his anemia? Ans: possibily nutritional 2.What could be the cause if UTI in this patient? Ans: it can be secondary to phimosis 3.Is there any possibility that the patient could be having thalassemia since he has splenomegaly ,thalassemia minor and intermedia can present like a iron deficiency anemia too ? Ans: his Hb electrophoresis reports didn't show thalassemia 4.what could be the cause of splenomegaly in him? Ans: could be due to severe iron deficiency anemia Causing extramedullary hematopoiesis Reference https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8352643/#:~:text=IDA%20is%20correlated%20with%20the,be%20caused%20by%20extramedullary%20hematopoiesis Case 2 https://divyaraju26.blogspot.com/2022/09/25-year-old
