Which abnormal hemoglobin may be formed in alpha thalassemia? | Hb Bart's |
Hemoglobin Lepore | abnormal hemoglobin due to the fusion of delta and beta chains resulting from a fusion gene formed by unequal crossing over. |
Hemoglobin E | hemoglobinopathy resulting from a single amino acid substitution on the beta chain. In hemoglobin E, lysine substitutes for glutamic acid on the 26th position of the beta chain. |
Hemoglobin S | hemoglobinopathy resulting from a single amino acid substitution on the beta chain. In hemoglobin S, valine substitutes for glutamic acid on the sixth position of the beta chain. |
primary myelofibrosis | - bone marrow is filled with fibrous tissue - extramedullary hematopoiesis - Teardrop RBCs - Nucleated RBCs - Immature myeloid cells in the peripheral blood |

Which hemoglobin migrates alone in cellulose acetate at an alkaline pH? | HgbA and HgbF |
Which hemoglobin migrates together in cellulose acetate at an alkaline pH? | - HgbS, G, and D migrate to the same position - HgbC migrates with A2 and E |
What causes the hemolysis associated with malarial infections? | Multiplication of merozoites within erythrocytes |
hemoglobin F concentration of 100% may be seen in which beta thalassemia? | Delta-beta thalassemia major (dß0/dß0) |

the WHO system requires the presence of ________% non-erythroid blasts for the Classification of acute leukemia. | 20% |
The MOST accurate observation about osmotic pressure is that it is: | Proportional to concentration of solute particles |
Newborns who will develop Hemoglobin H disease may demonstrate up to 30% of which type of hemoglobin? | Bart's |
Lepore | autosomal recessive genetic mutation leading to crosslinking of two alpha and two delta-beta chains not seen in hemoglobin H disease. |
Bart's | diagnostic hemoglobin in neonates for alpha thalassemia |
microangiopathic anemia. | Schistocytes, keratocytes, and teardrop cells |
abetalipoproteinemia | Acanthocytes |
thalassemia findings | codocytes (target) |
G6PD deficiency | bite cells and Heinz bodies |
Acute Myelocytic Leukemia | Cancer of the myeloid line of blood cells - rapid growth of abnormal white blood cells - interfere with the production of ntormal blood cells - positive Myeloperoxidase, Sudan Black B, and Chloroacetate Esterase. - target the myelocytic blast cells. |
Acute Monocytic Leukemia | FAB M5 Nonspecific Esterase positive (+) CD 14 , CD 64 positive (+) |
Cooley's anemia | beta thalassemia major which is a microcytic, hypochromic anemia. |
Iron deficiency anemia | microcytic, hypochromic anemia. |
Pernicious anemia | lack of mature erythrocytes caused by inability to absorb vitamin B12 into the bloodstream megaloblastic anemia associated with macrocytic, normochromic red blood cells. |
small club-shaped, "drumstick" nuclear appendage attached to one lobe of a neutrophil (marked by the blue arrow in the image) may be found in: | Normal female |
causes for high eosinophil counts | - Infections of parasitic helminths - Allergic reactions - Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia |
Forward scatter | is directly proportional to particle or cell size. |
Side scatter | is proportional to the surface and cytoplasmic complexity. Cytoplasmic granules and vacuoles increase side scatter. |
Hydrops Fetalis | Heart failure and generalized edema in the fetus secondary to severe anemia resulting from destruction of erythrocytes. Alpha thalassemia major all four alpha chain gene loci are deleted or non-functional. |
Heinz bodies | Intracellular inclusions seen in thalassemia, G6PD deficiency, and postsplenectomy denatured hemoglobin. |
