Q

Causes of lymphopenia

A

Glucocorticoids/stress - reduced release from lymph nodes and spleen, lympholysis

Acute inflammation

Loss of lymphatic fluid - chylothorax, enteric neoplasia, protein losing enteropathy

16
Q

What is this cell?

A

cat eosinophil

17
Q

Monocyte functions

A

Provide macrophages to tissues

Phagocytosis

Immune regulation - cytokines and chemotactic factors, present antigen to T lymphocytes, perform antibody-dependant cytotoxicity

18
Q

What is this cell?

A

Horse eosinophil

19
Q

Q

Neutrophil kinetics - canine

A
21
Q

Basophil functions

A

Histamine release

Promote lipid metabolism

haemostasis

parasite control

24
Q

Causes of eosinopenia

A

Glucocorticoids/stress response

can be clinically insignificant

25
Q

Neutrophilia due to excitement

A

Adrenaline mediated

younger animals

Marginating neutrophils to circulating

26
Q

Neutrophil kinetics - horse

A
27
Q

Causes of lymphocytosis

A

Chronic antigenic stimulation (vaccination)

Adrenaline/excitement (young animals)

Lymphoid neoplasia

Hypoadrenocorticism

28
Q

Causes of eosinophilia

A

4 W’s

Worms

Wheezes and whelts

Weird diseases - paraneoplastic (lymphoma, mast cell tumour), hypereosinophilic syndrome, eosinophilic leukaemia.

29
Q

How does bone marrow respond to inflammation?

A

Release of neutrophils from the storage pool -> mature neutrophilia

Neutrophils from the maturation pool -> left shift (bands)

Increased neutrophil production in marrow -> left shift in marrow then blood

Accelerated neutrophil maturation -> toxic change (not fully mature cytoplasm

30
Q

Monocytopaenia

A

Clinically insignificant as many healthy animals have low numbers of monocytes in their blood

31
Q

Causes of basophilia

A

Stress and inflammation in birds

Worms

Wheezes & whelts

Weird diseases

32
Q

What is toxic change?

A

cytoplasmic “immaturity”

eg. basophilic cytoplasm, Dohle bodies, foamy cytoplasm

33
Q

What is this cell?

A

Basophil - cattle

34
Q

Eosinophil function

A

Kill helminths

Suppress and promote hypersensitivity

35
Q

What can cause neutrophil left shift?

A

Inflammation - high tissue demand for neutrophils

myeloproliferative disease e.g. chronic myeloid leukaemia and neoplasia (paraneoplastic syndrome)

36
Q

Functions of neutrophil

A

Phagocytosis

Microbicidal
