KROK 1 2013 – Question 47 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathophysiology
A 12-year-old patient has been admitted to a hospital for hemarthrosis of the knee joint. From early childhood he suffers from frequent bleedings. Diagnose the boy’s disease:
- A. Hemophilia
- B. Hemolytic anemia
- C. Hemorrhagic vasculitis
- D. Thrombocytopenic purpura
- E. B12 (folic acid)-deficiency anemia
Hint
Deep bleeding into joints since early childhood suggests a lifelong defect in one arm of haemostasis; decide whether platelets, the vessel wall or the plasma clotting factors are at fault.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
