Case Study 1
Ms. A. is an apparently healthy
26-year-old white woman. Since the beginning of the current golf season, Ms. A
has noted increased shortness of breath and low levels of energy and
enthusiasm. These symptoms seem worse during her menses. Today, while playing
in a golf tournament at a high, mountainous course, she became light-headed and
was taken by her golfing partner to the emergency clinic. The attending
physician’s notes indicated a temperature of 98 degrees F, an elevated heart
rate and respiratory rate, and low blood pressure. Ms. A states, “Menorrhagia
and dysmenorrheal have been a problem for 10-12 years, and I take 1,000 mg of
aspirin every 3 to 4 hours for 6 days during menstruation.” During the summer
months, while playing golf, she also takes aspirin to avoid “stiffness in my
joints.”
Laboratory values are as follows:
Hemoglobin = 8 g/dl
Hematocrit = 32%
Erythrocyte count = 3.1 x 10/mm
RBC smear showed microcytic and
hypochromic cells
