55 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
Most common site for BM biopsy
Posterior Superior Iliac crest
Flow Cytometry
Forward scatter info on cell size
Side scatter: info on granularity
Reactive Leukopenia
lp secondary to a disorder (infection, inflammation, autoimmune, drugs, chemicals, etc)

You see neutropenia and lymphopenia but NOT MO, EO, or BA
Isolated neutropenia
Bacterial Infection
Isolated lymphopenia
Viral infection (HIV, EBV, etc)
Reative Lymphocytes
Aplastic anemia; BM not able to produce sufficient new cells to replenish blood cells; results in pancytopenia
Myelodysplasia
Ineffective hematopoiesis and subsequent pancytopenia; ringed siderblasts often present
Dysplasia of myelodysplasia in BM
Dohle Body (lower right blue area)

Note granulations - lysozymes to kill bacteria

Vacuoles indicate phagocytic activity
Monocyte

Isolated monocytosis indicates chronic infection
Eosinophil
Esosinophil
Basophil
Isolated eosinophilia
Allergic and hypersensitivity reactions
Isolated basophilia
Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia
Acute Leukemia
Short time course; rapidly diving immature cells
Chronic Leukemia
Long time course of disease; rapidly diving mature cells
Myeloblasts in AML; delicate chromatin, prominent nucleoli and fine azurophilic granules in the cytoplasm

CD34 and Cd33 markers of the same blasts
Acute Myelongeous Leukemia
BM accumulation of immature myeloid cells

Common in ADULTS
Auer Rod; diagnostic of AML
Acute Lymphoblastic/Lymphoid Leukemia
Malignant neoplasms of the hematopoietic precursor cells of lymphoblasts

Common in CHILDREN
AML vs ALL
ALL affects lymphocytic cells
AML affects myeloid cells
Lymphoblasts in ALL

Condensed nuclear chromatin, small nucleoli, scant agranular cytoplasm

Express Tdt and CD22; CD10 and CD19
CML morphology
Type of myeloproliferative disorder; Proliferation of granulocytes and platelets
Polycythemia vera
Type of myeloproliferative disorder; proliferation of RBC and paltelets
Essential thrombocytosis
Type of myeloproliferative disorder; Proliferation of megakaryocytes
Primary myelofibrosis
Type of myeloproliferative disorder; proliferation of fibroblasts, granulocytes & megakaryocytes
Philadelphia Chromosome
t(9;22); BCR-ABL in 90-95% of cases in CML
Gleevec and CML
Philadelphia chromosome (bcr-abl) constitutively activates tyrosine kinase; gleevec binds to TK active site as a competitive inhibitor
How can you acquire resistance to Gleevec?
additional mutations in bcr-abl protein = reduced gleevec binding

or amplification of the bcr-abl gene locus
Pathogenetics of Polycythemia Vera
Mutations in JAK2 Tyrosine Kinase lead to constitutive kinase activity
JAK-STAT signaling (this is how EPO stimulates erythropoisesis)
JAKs cross phorphorylate -> STATS bind and are phorphorylated -> STATS dimerize and become transcription factors in nucleus
CP of CML
Strokes, headaches, weakness due to thickened blood (immature myeloid cell proliferation)
CP of Polycythemia Vera
Strokes, headaches, weakness due to thickened blood (immature myeloid cell proliferation)
CP of essential thrombocytosis
Episodes of bleeding/fibrosis
CP of primary myelofibrosis
Marked thrombycytosis
CBC from a pt with CML; note the large buffy coat
BM from pt w chronic CML; note the hypercellular marrow
PB from pt with CML

Note increased WBC as well as presence of a full range of myeloid maturation
Chediak Higashi Mutation
LYST gene; unable to transport materials into lysosomes
Chediak-Higashi Syndrome associated with albinism

Neutropenia most common presentation; recurrent, life threatening infections in various organs
Chronic Granulomatous Disease of Childhood
CGD; phagoytes can't form superoxide radical and thus can't kill bacteria
Myeloperoxidase Deficiency (MPOD)
MPO found in azurophilic granules of neutrophils and lysomes of monocytes; MPO converts H202 and Cl into hypochlorus acid (bleach) to kill bacteria

Ability to kill fungi completely absent so pts present more often with candida infections
Fungal Infections in Diabetics
Myeloperoxidase Deficiency (MPOD)
"Neutrophils Like Making Everything Better Except Pus"

Seven differentiated formed elements present in blood
Neutrophils
Lymphocytes
Monocytes
Eosinophils
Basophils

Erythrocytes
Platelets
Reticulocytes; immature RBC in peripheral blood
Eosinophil

Antimicrobial function, protects against helminthic and protozoan infection
Megakaryote; produce platelets
Bone Marrow Graphic
Note the myeloid commited precursors

Granulocyte macrophage CFU
Eosinophil CFU
Basophil CFU
Megakaryocyte CFU
Erythroid CFU
Note two commited precursors from lymphoid stem cell
Commited Precursors
Erythroid Differentiation
Erythroid Differentiation
Granulocyte Differentiation
Granulocyte Differentiation
Immature Myeloid Algorithm
Immature Myeloid Algorithm
