What are the immunologic/serologic manifestations of infection?5. Are there any laboratory test that would further support the infection? A 5-year-old girl was taken to the pediatrician by hermother because of recurrent high fevers over the past fewdays. Physical examination revealed a light-colored rashbut no other abnormalities. The child was referred to theclinic for a complete blood count.Laboratory DataThe complete blood count revealed normal erythrocyteparameters; however, the total leukocyte count was 4.0 x10%/L. The differential count revealed a lymphocyte countof 40%; all of the lymphocytes were mature and small.

The nurse needs to assess complete history, followed by physical examination, lab and diagnostic…

A 45-year-old man noticed multiple pinpoint red spots and bruises on his arms and legs. The hematologist confirmed the presence of petechiae, purpura, and ecchymoses on his extremities and ordered a complete blood count, prothrombin time, and partial thromboplastin time. The platelet count was 40 x 109/L, the mean platelet volume was 12.2 fL, and the diameter of platelets on the Wright-stained peripheral blood film appeared to exceed 6 mm. Other complete blood count parameters and the coagulation parameters were within normal limits. A Wright-stained bone marrow aspirate smear revealed 10 to 12 small unlobulated megakaryocytes per low-power microscopic field. Do these signs and symptoms indicate systemic (mucocutaneous) or anatomical (soft tissue) bleeding? Why?

A Wright-stained bone marrow aspirate smear revealed 10 to 12 small unlobulated megakaryocytes per low-power microscopic field. Is the thrombocytopenia the result of inadequate bone marrow production? Explain why. Do these signs and symptoms indicate systemic (mucocutaneous) or anatomical (soft tissue) bleeding? Why?

A 51-year-old white man was admitted to the burn unit of a local hospital following an accident at a local foundry. Several STAT laboratory blood tests were ordered, including a complete blood count. Laboratory Data: The hemoglobin, hematocrit, and red blood cell (RBC) count were all slightly elevated. The total leukocyte count was 15.8 × 109 /L. The differential count was as follows: Band neutrophils 12% Segmented neutrophils 65% Lymphocytes 23% Light blue-gray inclusions were observed in the cytoplasm of many of the bands and segmented neutrophils. What is the etiology of the abnormal quantitative findings in this patient’s complete blood count? What are the blue-gray vacuoles in the cytoplasm of the leukocytes? Is this abnormality diagnostically significant? Why or why not?

Lindsey had a differential WBC count that showed 60% neutrophils, 10% eosinophils, 1% basophils, 22% lymphocytes, and 7% monocytes. What could have caused this?
Mr. Alvis, age 57, presented to his physician with marked fatigue, nausea with occasional diarrhea, and a sore, swollen tongue. Lately he also has been experiencing a tingling feeling in his toes and a feeling of clumsiness. Microscopic examination of a blood sample indicated a reduced number of erythrocytes, many of which are megaloblasts, and a reduced number of leukocytes, including many large, hypersegmented cells. Hemoglobin and serum levels of vitamin B12 were below normal. Additional tests confirm pernicious anemia. Discuss other tests that could be performed to diagnose this type of anemia.
