MODULE 6 UNIT 2: WHITE BLOOD CELL ANOMALIES Flashcards by Arriane Camacho

Owing to the fact that white blood cells are a heterogenous population, anomalies of white blood cells can be classified according to the

type of cell, cell parts affected and function

o Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB) Test

occurrence of white turbidity

Alder-Reilly Bodies

 pink or red rod-shaped cytoplasmic structures

Auer Rods

 formed from the fusion of primary granules

Auer Rods

 normally found in the younger myeloid precursors

Auer Rods

 When seen in mature cells, they are associated with AML or AMML

Auer Rods

 giant red, blue to grayish round inclusions

Chediak-Higashi granules

 deficient in enzymes for phagocytosis

Chediak-Higashi granules

 giant lysosomal granules o lymphocyte o Neutrophil o monocyte

Chediak-Higashi granules

 peroxidase (+)  Sudan Black B (+)

Chediak-Higashi granules

 Amato Bodies

Dohle Bodies

 single or multiple blue cytoplasmic inclusions in the neutrophil

Dohle Bodies

 aggregates of free ribosomes or rough endoplasmic reticulum

Dohle Bodies

 often confused with May-Hegglin anomaly

Dohle Bodies

leukocyte inclusions are composed of precipitated myosin heavy chains

Dohle Bodies

 large purple to black azurophilic granules

Toxic granules

 thought to be primary granules

Toxic granules

 often present with Dohle bodies and toxic vacuoles

Toxic granules

 ↑ ALP activity

Toxic granules

 large purple to black azurophilic granules

Toxic vacuoles

 thought to be primary granules

Toxic vacuoles

 ↑ ALP activity

Toxic granules

 often present with dohle bodies and toxic granules

. Toxic vacuoles

 large empty white areas within cytoplasm

Toxic vacuoles

 represent end-stage phagocytosis

Toxic vacuoles

 neutrophil with large purple homogenous round inclusion with nucleus wrapped around

LE cell

 appear smooth and evenly stained

LE cell

 a monocyte with ingested lymphocyte

Tart Cell

 appears rough & unevenly stained

Tart Cell

 neutrophils exhibit normal random activity (chemokinesis) but abnormal directional activity (chemotaxis)

Job syndrome

Random locomotion

Chemokinesis

Directed locomotion brought about by CHEMOTAXINS (chemotactic factors such as endotoxins and other bacterial products, cytokines, and lymphokines)

Chemotaxis

Locomotion through unruptured walls of the blood vessels

Diapedesis

 neutrophils have abnormal random and directional activity

Lazy Leukocyte Syndrome

 inability of phagocytes to kill ingested microorganisms due to impaired NADPH oxidase/ Respiratory burst

Chronic granulomatous disease

 diagnostic test: Nitroblue tetrazolium dye test

Chronic granulomatous disease

 caused by decreased or truncated β2 integrin, needed for neutrophil adhesion to endothelial cells and recognition of bacteria

Leukocyte Adhesion Disorder- I (LAD-I)

 caused by decreased amount or function of selectin ligands and defective leukocyte recruitment.

Leukocyte Adhesion DisorderII (LAD-II)

 brought about by defective protein Kindlin-3, needed for β integrin activation and leukocyte rolling

Leukocyte Adhesion DisorderIII (LAD-III)

 Failed response to external signals that would normally result in leukocyte activation

Leukocyte Adhesion DisorderIII (LAD-III)

 reactive lymphocytes, variant lymphocytes, transformed lymphocytes, and leukocytoid lymphocytes

Atypical lymphocytes
