Q

Neutrophils show _______ in true PHA

A

Normal granulation

25
Number of lobes in hypersergmented neutrophils
6 or more lobes
26
Pertains to a rare hereditary condition characterized by normal granulocyte production; nevertheless, there is impaired release in to the blood (leads to neutropenia)
Myelokathexis
27
Usually a neutrophil that has ingested the antibody-coated nucleus of another neutrophil or has engulfed the homogenous, globular nuclear mass of a destroyed cell ; usually an in vitro phenomenon
Lupus erythematosus cell
28
A monocytes that has ingested a whole lymphocyte or a nucleus (With an identifiable nuclear chromatin) ; may be seen in DRUG SENSITIVITY
Tart cell
29
Similar to normal lymphocytes but the nucleus is notched, lobulated, and CLOVERLEAF-like ; found in CLL or can be artificially formed through blood film preparation
Reader cell
30
An abnormal plasma cell with a cytoplasm that is completely filled with Russel bodies ; found in multiple myeloma
Grape cell
31
Grape cell is also known as
Morula cell or Mott cell
32
Patients with plasma cell myeloma have these characteristics:
Presence of Bence Jones Proteins CRAB (hypercalcemia, renal insufficiency, anemia, bone lesions)
33
CRAB stands for
Hypercalcemia Renal insufficiency Anemia Bone lesions
34
Small lymphocytes with little cytoplasmic projections ; nearly all blood cells contain 7 nonerythroid isoenzymes of acid phosphatase (0,1,2,3b,4, and 5) ; TRAP positive
