P3 PATHOLOGY Flashcards
what type of leukaemia is characterised with poorly diff. blast population & rapidly fatal if left untreated
Acute leukaemia
what type of leukaemia is characterised with well diff. blast population & longer survival even if left untreated
chronic leukaemia
blood smear from AML showing
Immature blast cells
blood smear from CML showing
Hyper-proliferation of myeloid cells
stain used in blood smear / BM smears in acute leukaemia
Romanowsky stain
What type of acute leukaemia is seen here with dense /clumped chromatin
ALL
What type of acute leukaemia is seen here with delicate chromatin & Auer rods
AML
what test is shown below & what does it study
immuno-phenotyping
Studying surface molecules of cells
what Monoclonal antibodies are used in AML
CD13 & CD33
what Monoclonal antibodies are used in B-ALL
CD10 , CD19 , CD22
what Monoclonal antibodies are used in T-ALL
CD3 , CD7
Unfavourable prognosis marker of ALL
- translocation in MLL gene
- t(9;22)
-hypo-ploidy
Favourable prognosis in ALL
t(12;21)
hyper-ploidy
Genetic abnormalities associated with AML
- t(8;21)
- inversion 16 / t (16;16)
- t(15;17)
what cell is shown below , that is characteristic for acute promyelocytic leukaemia
