Clinical Hematology Atlas by Jacqueline H. Carr and Bernadette F. Rodak provides up-to-date information on hematologic cellular morphology. Over 400 photographs, schematic diagrams, and electron micrographs illustrate hematology from normal cell maturation to the development of various pathologies.As a student, this has proven to be an invaluable tool in laboratory. The photographs have amazing clarity and consistency. The text beginning each section and descriptive text following each photograph provides indispensable additional information for identification and understanding. It is very rare to see the backgrounds for each of the photographs a pristine white, so that the fine details can actually be distinguished. Each section is written with great care and with complete forethought.Even though this may not matter too many, the fact that is was spiral bound shows the amount of consideration to detail the author put into this atlas.

A 62-year-old woman with a platelet count of 1,350,000/μL has been diagnosed with essential thrombocytosis after an exhaustive search failed to reveal any reactive causes for the elevated platelet count.

A 53-year-old woman comes to see you regarding a possible diagnosis of essential thrombocytosis. She says her gynecologist has noted a platelet count of >550,000/μL on three separate occasions over the past 2 years. Apart from two uneventful childbirths, the woman says she really has no significant medical history. She says she has never been told she was anemic. Lab values reveal a normal hemoglobin, hematocrit, and MCV. The platelet count is 580,000/μL. Your review of the peripheral smear reveals no microcytosis or hypochromia but does show RBC Howell-Jolly bodies. The platelet count on the smear appears elevated, but there are no giant platelets or platelet clumps. What is the next most appropriate step in your diagnostic work-up?A.Perform bone marrow aspirate and biopsy. B. Obtain a C-reactive protein and a sedimentation rate, looking for a state of chronic inflammation. C. Obtain a ferritin level to confirm that there is no iron deficiency. D.

Repeat the arterial blood gas to look for progression and development of hypoxia.B. Proceed to pulmonary arteriography.C. Begin anticoagulation.D. Administer methylene blue.E. Transfuse two units of packed RBCs.AnswerTags: MCQ, Hematology, Cyanosis, Methemoglobin
A 52-year-old black woman comes to you for another opinion regarding a history of anemia that has been unresponsive to oral iron supplementation. She sought your opinion because her other physician was recommending IV iron supplementation. She has been on nearly continuous iron supplementation therapy ever since her second child was born 23 years ago.Over the years she says her doctors have prescribed her to take anywhere from one to three pills daily, sometimes with vitamin C concomitantly. Although she has never needed a transfusion, she says she has been told that her RBC count has never completely normalized. She is otherwise healthy and has no unusual dietary habits.Her menstrual history reveals relatively normal menstrual periods until about 3 years ago, when she attained menopause. The patient believes that her mother was also iron deficient. Your physical exam is normal. Laboratory values show a hemoglobin of 11.6 g/dL; hematocrit, 33%; MCV, 70 fL; normal WBC with differential;

You are asked to see a 25-year-old white man who experienced marked weakness and dyspnea 4 days after being admitted for a compound arm fracture after falling from a tree. Estimated blood loss from the initial fracture episode was 600 mL, and the patient was transfused with one unit of packed erythrocytes. The initial crossmatch was reported as compatible by the transfusion service. The patient has never been transfused before this incident and has no other serious medical illnesses.The patient's arm fracture was treated with surgical pinning and prophylactic antibiotics consisting of cefotetan 2 g IV every 12 hours. On examination, the patient is febrile and mildly tachycardic, with no evidence of wound infection or compartment syndrome. Laboratory data show a hematocrit of 15%, absolute reticulocyte count of 600,000 μL, and total bilirubin of 70 umol/L with direct bilirubin of 9 umol/L. The peripheral smear shows many spherocytes.
