WBC 1 Flashcards
Severe chronic congenital neutropenia is also known as
Kostmann Syndrome
Deficiency of this vitamin can cause ineffective granulopoesis
B12 (cobalamin)
Lack of response to an infection due to an overwhelming infection (consumption of WBC)
In a state of anergy WBCs are consumed in the peripheral blood to the point they are decreased.
Toxic granules seen in neutrophils as seen during a shift in bone marrow activity
Dohle bodies are formed by the activation of enzymes in the ER
Dohle bodies are usually seen in:
severe infections (sepsis), or severe inflammatory reactions (Kawasaki’s)
Agranular, enlarged lymphocytes as a result of antigen stimulation (normal N/C ratio)
Reactive lymphocytes
Or Atypical lymphocytes
The presence of what cells may indicate neoplastic proliferation?
blasts
Defined by the presence of large oblong germinal centers surrounded by a collar of small resting naive B cells
Follicular hyperplasia
Hyperplasia of cells lining the lymphatic sinusoids where HISTIOCYTE (tissue macrophage) number is greatly increased
Sinus histiocytosis.
(Active B cells in center
Inactive B cells in periphery)
Pattern of chronic lymphadenitis usually caused by drugs, IM, vaccines
Parafollicular hyperplasia
Follicular hyperplasia is the stimulation of which compartment?
B-cell (compartment of lymph nodes)
Dark zone of germinal region contain these proliferating B cells
Centroblasts
Abnormal expansion of the interfollicular zones but is confined within the lymph node capsule
Parafollicular hyperplasia
Marginal layer gets thinner; germinal center gets larger.
Follicular hyperplasia
Lymph node hyperplasia prominent in breast carcinoma
Sinus hyperplasia
Foreign bodies are attacked by killer T cells here
parafollicular
Folluclar hyperplasia is a chronic reaction that can be seen in these infections: (examples)
HIV, toxoplasmosis
Light zone of germinal centers contain these B cells with irregular or cleaved nuclear contours
Centrocytes
Some will be come memory cells
Macrophages that eat up failed B cells that have undergone apoptosis are called:
tingible bodies
Lymphoid neoplastic proliferation arising as discrete tissue masses in LYMPH NODES
lymphoma
Type of myeloid neoplasm: immature progenitor cells accumulate in the BM
Acute myeloid leukemia
Increased WBC count with left shift (80% bands)
increased leukocyte alkaline phosphatase
Leukemoid reaction
Reed-Sternberg cells (RS cells) are required for diagnosis of:
Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Neoplasms that present with widespread involvement of the bone marrow and peripheral blood; arise in BONE MARROW
Lymphocytic leukemia
