Fatima is a 36-year-old female with a megaloblastic anemia. An initial diagnosis of moderate anemia, jaundice, and neurological complications was made. Based on the patient’s laboratory test results, she was diagnosed as having a vitamin B12 deficiency. Her CBC results showed MCV of 87 fl. The Schilling test demonstrated that the deficiency was due to the absence of intrinsic factor. This patient can be diagnosed with a megaloblastic anemia due to a lack of intrinsic factor. The patient is suffering from the adult form of pernicious anemia with demonstrated anti-intrinsic factor antibodies. Still, the doctor was not definite of the final diagnosis. In order to help understanding the case:
1. What is the morphologic classification of the patient’s anemia?
2. What abnormal morphological findings on a stained blood smear comprise the triad in megaloblastic anemia?
3. What further testing can be done to obtain a definitive diagnosis?
4. What would you predict this patient’s reticulocyte count to be?
5. What you expect other CBC indices of WBC and platelets?

Question 3. A hospital-based case-control study of alcohol consumption in relation to a particular type of cancer was conducted. The investigators selected patients admitted for conditions that were not related to alcohol consumption as the control group. 200 controls were individually matched to 200 cases by age and sex. Alcohol consumption was assessed by an in-person interview conducted by a trained interviewer in the hospital (suggested length, a brief paragraph each for 1) to 3) below). 1) Using epidemiological terminology, describe three potential biases which you may be concerned about in this example, and why you think such biases might have arisen. 2) For each of the three sources of bias, briefly describe steps that could be taken to control or remove the potential biases in the design of your study and analysis of study data. 3) Why was it important that the control group included patients with conditions that were not related to alcohol consumption? 4) The matched odds ratio for the association between alcohol consumption and cancer was 2.0. Given that, create a contingency table that would result in this odds ratio based upon the matched data (note: there are many possible correct responses to this question).
