Got the
results of NEQAS 2406BF today. I saw…
|
BF1 Sickle cells (consensus #2) Eosinophilia (consensus #1) Nucleated red cells (consensus #3) Target cells (consensus #4) Howell-Jolly bodies (consensus #6) I felt this was a haemoglobinopathy with something setting
off the eosinophils. The expert opinion was that this was sickle cell disease
with an unexplained eosinophilia |
BF2 Target cells (consensus #1) Tear drop cells (consensus #2) Fragments (consensus #8) Basophilic stippling (consensus #5) Polychromasia (consensus #4) I felt this was a haemolytic condition. It was haemoglobin H disease… The expert opinion started off with “this case indicates how difficult it can be to think of the
possibility of the correct diagnosis in the absence of clinical history and
ethnic origin” I think this just shows we should be given a *lot*
more information in these cases |
