| mono- | one |
| poly- | many, much |
| Associated with bone marrow failure, diminished RBCs, WBCs, and platelets due to bone marrow suppression - serious form of anemia that may be fatal | Aplastic (hypoplastic) anemia |
| RBCs are large and deformed with a diminished production rate and life span; Normal levels are achieved by increasing folic acid in diet | Folic-acid deficiency anemia |
| Associated with premature destruction of RBCs; usually accompanied by jaundice | Hemolytic anemia |
| Most common type of anemia world-wide | Iron-deficiency anemia |
| Chronic, progressive disorder found mostly in people older than age 50 | Pernicious anemia |
| Most common genetic disorder in people of African descent | Sicle cell anemia |
| Accumulation of serous fluid in the peritoneal or pleural cavity | ascites |
| Presence of viable bacteria circulating in the bloodstream usually transient in nature | bacteremia |
| Condition that occurs following bone marrow transplant in which the immune cells in the transplanted marrow produce antibodies against the host's tissues | graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) |
| Localized accumulation of blood, usually clotted, in an organ, space, or tissue due to a break in or severing of a blood vessel | hematoma |
| Arrest of bleeding or circulation; blood standing still | hemostasis |
| State of being protected against infectious diseases | immunity |
| Any disease of the lymph nodes | lymphadenopathy |
| Serious, life-threatening bloodstream infection that may arise from other infections throughout the body, such as pneumonia, urinary tract infection, menengitis, or infections of the bone or GI tract | septicemia |
| Laboratory test to detect the presence of antibodies, antigens, or immune substances | serology |
| Blood test that measures the amount of antibodies in blood; commonly used as an indicator of immune status | titer |
| Any condition in which the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood is deficient. It is not a disease but rather a symptom of various diseases | anemia |
| Reduction in all cellular elements of the blood - WBC, RBC and platelets; present when neutropenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia (all three) are present | pancytopenia |
| Series of tests that includes hemoglobin; hematocret; RBC, WBC and platelet counts | complete blood count (CBC) |
| Non-specific rapid serological test for infectious mononucleosis | Monospot |
| Drawing in or out by suction | aspiration |
| Removal of a small core sample of tissue from bone marrow for examination under a microscope and, possibly, for analysis using other tests | bone marrow biopsy |
| Infusion of blood or blood components into the bloodstream | transfusion |
| Transfusion prepared from the recipient's own blood | autologous transfusion |
| Transfusion prepared from another individual whose blood is compatible with that of the recipient | homologous transfusion |
| Transplantation of bone marrow from one individual to another to treat aplastic anemia, leukemia, and immunodeficiency disorders | homologous bone marrow transplantation |
| Prevent blood clot formation by inhibiting the synthesis or inactivating one or more clotting factors; Warfaren, heparin | anticoagulants |
| Prevent replication of viruses within host cells | antivirals |
| Treatment that provides relief, but not a cure | palliative care |
| Four Causes of Anemia | Excessive blood loss, excessive blood-cell destruction, decreased blood formation, faulty helmoglobin production |
| Subsequent exposures to antigen produce increasing allergic reactions that cause a broad range of inflammatory changes - in the extreme, anaphylactic shock, a life-threatening condition | anaphylaxis |
