Abstract:
Structural hemoglobinopathy due to carriage of Hb Camden was diagnosed in a male patient and his mother. Anomalous Hb was detected after a detailed analysis of the clinical evidence, blood smears microscopy, marrow examination, data obtained by a complex of methods to identify unstable Hb. It was defined as Hb Camden beta 131 GLN-->GLU. The carriage of this variant brings no clinical manifestations, but leads to impaired red cells morphology, decline of their life span, enhanced hemolysis. These properties are typical for mutant Hb lacking stability. Hb Camden carriage is considered as a compensatory hemolytic process.

01:28Rabies
Rabies is a lethal zoonotic disease caused by a single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus of the Lyssavirus genus, within the family Rhabdoviridae. Its primary mode of transmission to humans is through bites or saliva-contaminated scratches from infected mammals such as dogs, bats, raccoons, or foxes. Transmission can also occur if infectious saliva contacts abraded skin or intact mucous membranes, including the conjunctiva.Viral Entry and Early ReplicationOnce introduced at the bite or scratch...

Hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver most commonly caused by hepatotropic viruses (A–E), though non-infectious causes such as alcohol and drugs also exist.Hepatitis AHepatitis A virus (HAV) is a non-enveloped RNA virus of the Picornaviridae family. It is primarily transmitted via the fecal-oral route, typically through ingestion of contaminated food or water. After ingestion, HAV enters the bloodstream through the oropharynx or intestinal epithelium and reaches the liver. The...
