I got the final report on digital morphology 2102 DM today. Some time ago I was presented with the case:
"You
are asked to review a blood film from a sick young patient in the Emergency
Department ..."
There was:
|
Macrocytes Nucleated red cells Polychromasia Spherocytes Stomatocytes target cells
|
dysplastic/vacuolated neutrophils Granulated lymphocytes ?myelocytes Smear cells
|
large platelets Reduced platelet count
|
The film was from a patient with sepsis. I spotted the salient features, but was more taken with the nucleated red cells and reduced platelet count. As always it would help if we were given more information.
There was talk (in the report) of an Instagram account to follow. You can follow it by clicking here. Will I? Yet another social media thing to do…
