lymphocyte %
20-40%
lymphocytes with larger cytoplasm and have nucleoli in their nuclei
atypical lymphocytes
monocyte %
7%
wbc that mediates hypersensitivity and is stained by basic dyes
basophils
presence of numerous basophilic granules that are dispersed through the cytoplasm of rbcs in a pbs
basophilic stippling/punctate basophilia
causes of basophilic stippling
lead poisoning and megaloblastic anemia
wbc that mediates allergic reactions and parasites, and is stained by acidic dyes
eosinophils
eosinophils + ___ work together to destroy parasites
IgE
neutrophils %
55-70%
causes of neutropenia
antineoplastic agents, bacterial rickettsia, phenothiazines, phenylbutazone, and allopurinol
change in morphology of the nucleus of the polymorphonuclear leukocytes, which has one or two smooth lobes with thick chromatin
pelger-huet anomaly
causes of monocytosis
chronic infxns (tb, brucellosis), rheumatic diseases, and malignant processes
causes of eosinophilia
hypersensitivity, parasitic infxns, cancer, and connective tissue disorders
causes of basophilia
chronic myelogenous leukemia and other myeloproliferative disorders
causes of lymphocytopenia
congenital, corticosteroids, antineoplastic agents, or radiation
malignant disorders that affect the blood and blood-forming tissues
leukemia
this type of leukemia occurs mostly in children
acute lymphoblastic leukemia
4 broad types of leukemia
acute lymphoblastic, acute myelogenous, chronic lymphocytic, and chronic myelogenous
marrow that is found in breast bone, skull, vertebrae, ribs, and ends of long bones
red marrow
what cells are produced at the red marrow?
wbcs, rbcs, and plts
marrow that is made up of mostly fat cells
yellow marrow
leukemia that has immature myeloid wbcs with oncogene mutations, single myeloblast, and spontaneous bleeding (both adults and children are affected)
acute myeloid leukemia
leukemia that involves myeloid stem cells (rare in children)
chronic myelogenous leukemia
leukemia that has immature b or t cells, macrophages, and disturbs marrow function (common in children)
acute lymphocytic leukemia
leukemia that involves lymphoid B/T cell and has splenomegaly (common in > 55 y/o)
chronic lymphocytic leukemia
variation in RBC shape
poikilocytosis
variation in RBC size
anisocytosis
rbc that resembles spurs on cowboy boots
acanthocytes (spur/spike cells)
acanthocytes are seen in:
post-splenectomy, abetalipoproteinemia, decreased cell membrane cholesterol
cigar-shaped rbcs
elliptocytes/ovalocytes
elliptocytes are seen in:
ida, thalassemia major, elliptocytosis/ovacolcytosis, megaloblastic anemia
rbc that resembles a bulls eye or mexican hats
codocytes/target cells
codocytes are seen in:
ida, sickle cell anemia, hemoglobinopathies
rbc with slit-like pallors
stomatocyte
stomatocytes are seen in:
slight pH change in the environment
rbc that resembles teardrops or raindrops
dacrocytes/teardrop cells
these are formed due to the removal of a rbc inclusion as it passes through the spleen (pitting)
dacrocytes/teardrop cells
dacrocytes are seen in:
myelophthisic anemia, myelofibrosis, thalassemias, organ failure
rbc that looks like as if they have a bite taken out of them
degmacytes/bite cells
these are formed due to the removal of hemoglobin by the spleen
degmacytes/bite cells
