Molecular mimicry in aplastic anemia; emicizumab prophylaxis in infants with hemophilia; hydroxyurea reduces infections in SCA
Manage episode 410660612 series 2592278
In this week's episode we'll discuss molecular mimicry in aplastic anemia, novel experiments show that antigens associated with viral infections can mimic epitopes presented on hematopoietic progenitor cells. Then, we'll learn about prophylaxis with subcutaneous emicizumab in infants with hemophilia. Finally we'll see how hydroxyurea is associated with a significant reduction in infections among children with sickle cell anemia in Uganda.
