Hematology Lymphoid Flashcards
Normal WBC count
5-10k
Neutropenia can be due to (2)
Drug toxicity
Severe infection
Neutropenia tx
GMCSF
GCSF
Lymphopenia causes (4)
Immunodef (DiGeorge Syndrome failure of thymus form) High cortisol (apoptosis in lympho) Autoimmune destruction (SLE) Whole body radiation (lymphocyte)
Most sensitive cell to radiation
Lymphocyte
Neutrophilic leukocytosis causes (3)
Bacterial i
Tissue necrosis
High cortisol
Inc in immature precursor neutrophils with dec FC receptors that recognize IgG
Left shift
Marker for dec FC receptor
CD16
Disrupts adhesion of neutrophils in marginated pool
cortisol
Monocytosis causes (2)
Chronic inflammation
Maligancy
Eosinophilia causes (3)
Allergic reactions
Parasitic infection
Hodgkin lymphoma
Eosinophilia occurs in hodgkins due to
inc IL5
Basophilia occurs in
CML
Lymphocytic leukocytosis (2)
Viral
Bordetella pertussis
B pertussis produces prevents entry of lymphocytes to LN
Lymphocytosis promoting factor
EBV infection resulting in lymphocytic leukocytosis comprised of reactive CD8 cells
Infectious mononucleosis
EBV transmitted through
saliva
EBV primarily affects
Oropharynx
Liver
B cells
Generalized LAD
Splenomegaly periarterual lymph sheath
High white count of atypical lymphocytes by CD8 cell response
Infectious mononucleosis
EBV infection results in hyperplasia of
paracortex LAD
Which area of white pulp in spleen is affected by EBV
periarterial lymphatic sheath blue in histology
Atypical lymphocytes (2)
Have larger nucleus
Abundant blue cytoplasm
Looks like monocyte
Screening for IM
Monospot test
Detects IgM heterophile (affinity to bind RBC fr other animal) antibodies
Turns positive in 1 week after infection
Negative suggets CMV or early
Definitive diagnostic for IM
EBV viral capsid antigen
IM complications (3)
Inc risk for splenic rupture
Rash if PCN
Dormancy of virus in B cell
EBV inc risk for
Lymphoma in AIDS
Neoplastic proliferation of mature lymphocytes
Chronic leukemia
High WBC count
Insidious onset in older adults
Chronic leukemia
Neoplastic proliferation of B Cells
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
B cells express (2) in CLL
CD5 and CD20
Inc lymphocytes and SMUDGE cells on blood smear
CLL
Splattered cell in CLL
Smudge cell
Generalized LAD
with small lymphocytic lymphoma (mass)
CLL
CLL Complications (3)
Hypogammaglobulinemia (loss of antibody production)
Autoimmune hemolytic
Transformation to diffuse large B cell lymphoma
MCC of death in CLL
Infection
Neoplastic proliferation of mature B cells
Hairy cytoplasmic processes
+ TRAP
Hairy Cell Leukemia
HCL staining
Tartrate resistant acid phosphatase
Splenomegaly red pulp TRAPED in
Dry tap with bm aspiration
LAD ABSENT
Hairy Cell Leukemia
HCL responds excellently to
2 CDA
Adenosine deaminase (purine degradation pathway) inhibitor Adenosine accumulates to toxic levels in neoplastic B cells
2 CDA
Neoplastic proliferation of mature CD4 T cell
Acute T Cell Leukemia Lymphoma
ATLL associated with
HTLV1 in Japan and carribean (Human T cell leukemia virus 1)
Rash
Generalized LAD with HSM
Lytic bone lesions with hypercalcemia
ATLL
Neoplastic proliferation of mature CD4 T Cell
Mycosis fungoides
Aggregation of T crll in epidermis is called
Pautrier microabscess
CD4+ T cells like to go to
forming
skin
rash, plaque, nodule
Neoplastic CD4 T cells that spread to blood
Characteristic lymphocyte with cerebriform nuclei
Sezary syndrome
Pathognomonic of Sezary syndrome
Lymphocyte with cerebriform nuclei
Accumulation of precursors of myeloid lineage
Acute myelogenous leukemia
