white blood cell disorder Flashcards
what is the marker for hematopoietic stem cell
CD34
high cortisol state and neutopenia
due to lack of attachment and migration
mechanism of eosinophilia in Hodgkins
increased IL-5 production
basophilia
CML
what tissues are infected in EBV
oropharynx, liver and B cells
what is the presentation of EBV
paracortical expansion of the lymph node. splenomegaly (periarterial lymphatic sheath). high white count with atypical lymphocytes.
monospot test
detects IgM heterophile antibodies. these are usually sheep. if negative, think CMV
complications of EBV
splenic rupture, rash if penicillin exposure, dormancy in B cells (increased risk of recurrence and lymphoma).
acute leukemia
neoplastic proliferation off blasts. >20% in the bone marrow. they crowd out normal hematopoiesis. there will neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia
what do blasts look like
immature, lack of cytoplasm. large. large nuclei and nucleoli
myeloidblast
AML myeloperoxidase present (auer rods
lymphoblast
ALL there is positive tDt
ALL
neoplastic accumulatio of lymphoblsats. positive for TdT (DNA polymerase in the nucleus). presents i children. associated with downs syndrome after 5. subdivided into B-ALL/T-ALL
B-ALL.
most common type. CD10, CD19, CD20. responds well to chemo.
what cytogenetic abnormalities affect the prognosis
T (12, 21) good prognosis.
t(9, 22) philadephia (this is the chromosome found in CML) poor prognosis
T-ALL
lymphoblastic markers ranging from CD2-CD8. NO CD10. TdT +
presents as a thymic mass in a teenager. this is acute lymphoblastic lymphoma.
AML
neoplastic myeloblasts. look for MPO or auer rods. punched out nucleus. common in older adults.
subclassification of AML
think t(15, 17) -APL
APL (type of AML)
t(15, 17) disrupts retanoic acid receptor. contain auer rods. there is a risk of DIC. ATRA treatment.
acute monocytic leukemia
proliferation of monoblast. usually lacks MPO. characteristically affects the gums
acute megakaryoblastic leukemia
megakaryoblasts, lack MPO. down syndrome before the age of 5
