the answers are
with Hb C disease which is an autosomal recessive disorder
splenomegaly is true [ surprisingly]
fat embolus false
and
bone infarction is also false [Dental radiographs show changes to the maxilla and mandible typically associated with persistent overgrowth of erythrocyte-forming marrow, which is the basic process common to most hemolytic diseases and most hemoglobinopathies.]
Hemoglobin C disease can coexist with sickle cell hemoglobin (hemoglobin SC disease), which can lead to hemolytic anemia and pain crises. Some patients may have vasoocclusive crises and aseptic necrosis of the femoral head.
hope this helps |
