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  

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 burn patient develops leukocytosis and a “shift to the left”. Large light blue staining cytoplasmic inclusions are found near the periphery of many neutrophils.  These inclusions are probably

Neutrophils observed in the differential of a 14 year old boy demonstrate heavy purplish cytoplasmic granulation with the presence of dohle bodies. Chief complaint listed in the EMR is fever. This trait is indicative of

Match the MCV/RDW that would most likely correlate with each clinical scenario.

Hypersegmentation of neutrophilic nuclei is hallmark of which disorder?

In a 1 month old with alpha thalassemia, you would expect to find:

A 25-year-old woman presents with fatigue and pallor. Her laboratory results are as follows: Hemoglobin (Hgb): 8.0 g/dL Hematocrit (Hct): 24% Reticulocyte Count: 5% RBC Count: 2.8 x 10⁶/µL Reticulocyte Maturation Factor: 2.0 (adjusted for anemia, for Hct

You are performing a differential for a patient with absolute leukocytosis and lymphocytosis. The following peripheral blood picture under the microscope should prompt you to do which of the following?

Combined with the relative reticulocyte count, which index can provide the greatest insight into activity of the bone marrow during treatment for an anemia?
