  a. Platelets increase when a patient is overheparinized.
  b. Platelets decrease when a patient is overheparinized.
  c. A significant decrease in the platelet count is evidence for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
  d. A significant increase in the platelet count is early evidence for heparin-induced thrombocytosis.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Antithrombin covalently binds and inhibits XIIa, XIa, Xa, IXa, and thrombin. It does not bind VIIa.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A decrease of 40 or greater in the platelet count, even if the platelet count remains in the reference range, is evidence for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. This is a serious consequence, and unfractionated heparin therapy must be immediately stopped and replaced with a direct thrombin inhibitor.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
