Reaching Diagnosis : Purpura - Egyptian Style



Bayangkan seorang kanak-kanak datang kepada anda dengan bintik-bintik merah di badan,tangan,kaki dan muka dengan ditemani ibunya


Welcome her and the child, give them a smile

Personal History = semua orang tahu ناس عمر
Name,Age,Sex
Occupation,Marital Status [of course does not apply here], Residence


ساكِن فين؟ جَنْبِك أي مصانع؟
this is one crucial question,to measure any toxic possibilities [according to the prof]

let's proceed to the complain
words that may come from the guardian

نزيف / ينْزِفْ من كل حِطَّة في جسمه
بينزف من مناخيره
بينزف من بوقه
في نُقَطْ حمراء على جسمه

 
of course then,analyze the complaint, OCD
onset,course,duration
one thing you should ask 'SITE'

في نفس الحكاية على ظهره؟
remember Henoch–Schönlein

among other things;

جاله سخونية قبل الحكاية ده؟
remember aplastic anaemia,leukaemia
 
حصل برد من قبل حكاية ده؟
 
حصل ألم في المفاصيل؟
remember leukaemia 


عظمة أخباره ايه؟
remember leukaemia


المعدة بتورم / البطنة بتورم؟
remember acute leukaemia



في أي كلاكيع؟
of course,kalakie is any lumps:referred to lymphadenopathy

بِيَتَنَقُّلِ دم قبل كده؟


remember words for pallor

بهتان / شُحُوب

ask for other symptoms
i.e : chest, heart
anaemia leads to Heart Failure! how?


then proceed with routine questions
i.e : antenatal,natal,postnatal,vaccination


Family History
any similar condition amongst siblings,family member

mental manifestations give alarm signal for cerebral haemorrhage

proceed to general examination

possibilities :
Immnue Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Aplastic Anaemia
Acute leukaemia
and many others

that's all for now, see you again! xoxo
