On Thursday 30 January 2019 I did the NEQAS digital
morphology exercise 1901 DM. I said:
“Hypochromic
microcytic blood film with anisopoikilocytosis, target cells, tear-drop cells,
microspherocytes and red cell fragments
Are there red cell
inclusions ??? Hb C crystals??? Unfortunately the staining isn't all that good.
Giant platelets seen
Only four white cells
in field. Neutrophils appear unremarkable; the solitary lymphocyte doesn't look
right - but is that the poor staining?
This warrants urgent
referral to the consultant. As for what the case is... I'm leaning towards a thalassaemia or
haemoglobinopathy”
The results came out today. I think I got it
right, but the software didn’t give me a certificate of completion. Did I do it
wrong?
