Julie is a white, 35 year old mother of two who went to see her gynecologist after feeling increasingly fatigued over the last 3 months or so. She has had trouble keeping up with the activities of her young children and working full-time. She does not take any medications, but did recently start a multivitamin in hopes it would increase her energy. Her weight has been stable, she has had no changes in her diet or sleep habits, except for recently she started eating ice. Her past medical history and family history are negative. She does not smoke, drink or do any illicit drugs. On physical test she was found to have pale conjunctiva, spooning of her nails, and her stools were negative for occult blood. Her doctor ordered a CBC which showed a hemoglobin of 8.2 g/dL, hematocrit of 26%, RBC count of 3.5 million/uL, MCV 74.2fL, WBC count of 6,400/uL. Based off of these results her doctor diagnosed Julie with anemia.

Please respond to each of the following in your reply:

  1. What is the significance of Julie eating ice?
  2. What type of anemia does Julie most likely have, why do you think this?
  3. Based off of the type of anemia that you think Julie has, what additional tests would you like to see ordered?
  4. What would be an appropriate treatment for Julie?

Marie Curie was a famous French-Polish scientist known for her pioneering research on radioactivity. Her work not only brought her fame but her death as well; she developed aplastic anemia due to radiation exposure. She experienced recurrent and prolonged infections (viral, bacterial, parasitic, and fungal). Explain why she suffered from recurrent infections. Be sure to mention the different types of WBC and the relation to the various infections, and the reasons why she lacked the cell-mediated and the humeral response.
