The CBC of a patient from the clinic patient shows absolute lymphocytosis, sustained 10 weeks duration, with increasing WBC counts.  (peripheral blood image shown below). What is the most likely disorder?

A patient reports to the lab for annual blood work. The CBC shows moderate anemia, which is reported to the physician. Morphologically, the RBCs are of normal size and shape. A reticulocyte count is reflexed and reported to be 0.7%, with a RPI = 1. Which cause of anemia is suggested?

The CBC for a patient shows decreased WBC and RBC values. Abnormal development is noted for a number of cells on the peripheral blood smear. A bone marrow is ordered and provides the following results: Cellularity is decreased, considering the age of the patient Normal M:E ratio Dysplastic changes noted in myelocytic and erythrocytic cell lines.  17% blasts; Auer rods present
