| erythrodysesthesia syndrome | <syndrome> Tingling sensation of the palms and soles, progressing to severe pain and tenderness with erythema and oedema; caused by continuous infusion therapy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| erythrogen | <chemistry> Carbon disulphide; so called from certain red compounds which it produces in combination with other substances. A substance reddened by acids, which is supposed to be contained in flowers. A crystalline substance obtained from diseased bile, which becomes blood-red when acted on by nitric acid or ammonia. Origin: Gr. Red + -gen. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| erythrogenesis imperfecta | Congenital nonregenerative, familial hypoplastic, or pure red cell anaemia; erythrogenesis imperfecta; Diamond-Blackfan syndrome; autosomal recessive normocytic normochromic anaemia resulting from congenital hypoplasia of the bone marrow, which is grossly deficient in erythroid precursors while other elements are normal; anaemia is progressive and severe, but leukocyte and platelet counts are normal or slightly reduced; survival of transfused erythrocytes is normal; minor congenital anomalies are found in some patients. Synonym: congenital nonregenerative anaemia, Diamond-Blackfan anaemia, Diamond-Blackfan syndrome, erythrogenesis imperfecta, familial hypoplastic anaemia, pure red cell anaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| erythrogenic | 1. Producing red, as causing an eruption or a red colour sensation. 2. Pertaining to the formation of red blood cells. Origin: erythro-+ -gen, producing (05 Mar 2000) |
| erythrogenic toxin | <protein> Toxin produced by strains of Streptococcus pyogenes responsible for scarlet fever. Three antigenic variants of the toxin are known. It is a small protein that is complexed with hyaluronic acid and can intensify the effects of other toxins such as endotoxin and streptolysin O. (18 Nov 1997) |

| erythroid cell | Cell that will give rise to erythrocytes. (18 Nov 1997) |
| erythroid progenitor cells | Committed, erythroid stem cells derived from myeloid stem cells. The progenitor cells develop in two phases: erythroid burst-forming units (bfu-e) followed by erythroid colony-forming units (cfu-e). Bfu-e differentiate into cfu-e on stimulation by erythropoietin, and then further differentiate into erythroblasts when stimulated by other factors. (12 Dec 1998) |
| erythroid transcription factor | <molecular biology> Transcription factor that binds to regulatory regions of genes expressed in erythroid cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
