To explain:

The inference of eosinophils making up 8% of all white blood cells.

Introduction:

White blood cells are also referred to as leukocytes. These are the part of immune system that are involved in protecting the body against foreign pathogens, infections, and diseases. White blood cells are derived from haemopoietic stem cells.

Summary Introduction

To explain:

The way through which suspicions would change if the patient had spent last three years as an anthropologist in African jungle.

Introduction:

The patient’s chart shows eosinophils make 8% of white blood cells. Initially it can be suspected that the patient might be having some kind of allergies. However, patient had spent three years as anthropologist in African jungle.

Which situation (Neutrophilia or Neutropenia)results in a better outcome for the patient? Why? Give reason for the answer.
A 51-year-old white man was admitted to the burn unit of a local hospital following an accident at a local foundry. Several STAT laboratory blood tests were ordered, including a complete blood count.   Laboratory Data: The hemoglobin, hematocrit, and red blood cell (RBC) count were all slightly elevated. The total leukocyte count was 15.8 × 109 /L.   The differential count was as follows: Band neutrophils 12% Segmented neutrophils 65% Lymphocytes 23%   Light blue-gray inclusions were observed in the cytoplasm of many of the bands and segmented neutrophils.   What is the etiology of the abnormal quantitative findings in this patient’s complete blood count? What are the blue-gray vacuoles in the cytoplasm of the leukocytes? Is this abnormality diagnostically significant? Why or why not?
Melinda was working the day shift in the hematology laboratory.  The laboratory’s protocol called for three levels of blood cell controls to be run at the following times: 1) at the beginning of the shift, 2) within each run of patient samples during the day and 3) any times reagents were changed.  The mean for the low (abnormal) control for the red blood cell count was given as 2.00 x 10^12/L, the standard deviation was 0.15, and the confidence limit (acceptable control range) was 2.00 x 10^12/L +/- 2sd (or +/- 0.3). The first morning low control result was 2.10 (x 10^12/L).  In five subsequent runs, the low control results were 2.16, 2.19, 2.20, 2.22 and 2.25. 1.  Do these values represent a shift, a trend, or neither? 2.  Should Melinda be concerned about these values?  Explain.   3.  Does Melinda need to take any action?
