ASCP MLS RECALLS STUDY
ANSWERS GUARANTEE A+
✔✔Person tested positive for HIV-1 and HIV-2 but western blot was indeterminate.
What do you do? - ✔✔repeat western blot in a month.
✔✔There was a positive DAT on cord blood; mother is Rh pos, baby is Rh neg. What is
most likely coating the baby's red cells? - ✔✔K (kell)
✔✔Picture of what looks like cold agglutinins - ✔✔Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria?
(Aggregation of the RBCs can occur, but this is considered mild compared with cold
hemagglutinin disease. )
Mycoplasma infections more likely?
✔✔What phase can rouleux not be detected in? - ✔✔AHG
✔✔Picture of ABO type with mixed field reaction in the forward type - ✔✔patient was
transfused with O blood
✔✔Picture of AB in forward reaction, and weak reactions in back type - ✔✔I picked
incubate at room temp because probably cold agglutinins. Need to warm
✔✔adsorption that had been done twice, and antibody screen is positive - ✔✔perform
antibody ID panel
✔✔patient is type A with Lewis a+b- what substance will be on their red cells - ✔✔(H, A,
Lea)
✔✔Bile esculin +, NaCl-, alpha hemolytic, looked like a strep - ✔✔Group D (strep
gallolyticus/bovis)
✔✔TSI slant K/A H2S+, PD- - ✔✔Salmonella
✔✔lactose fermenter, ODC+, lysine - - ✔✔Enterobacter cloaca ?
✔✔Rotavirus - ✔✔stool
✔✔CSF storage - ✔✔incubate at 35C
✔✔Hair perforation test - ✔✔Trichophyton metagrophyte and T. rubrum
✔✔Good way to detect Legionella infection - ✔✔Antigen detection in urine
, ✔✔lesion on arm, the organism presents delicate hyphae with microconidias -
✔✔Sporothrix schenkii
✔✔Mycoplasma can't be treated with penicillin - ✔✔No cell wall
✔✔eosinophils in urine sediments indicates what - ✔✔acute interstitial nephritis, which
is caused by an allergic reaction, typically to drugs.
✔✔calculate creatinine clearance - ✔✔(Urine creatinine X urine Volume/Plasma
creatinine x time in minutes)x (1.73/body surface area)
✔✔Need to pipette .5ml of specimen, what do you use - ✔✔Serologic
✔✔When to give Rhogam—Gave various types with moms Anti-X found - ✔✔Mother
Neg with baby pos mother has Anti-C
✔✔Cold antibody - ✔✔Anti-Lea, -Leb, -M, -N, and -P
✔✔Rouleaux seen microscopically gives ABO discrepancy - ✔✔use Saline replacement
technique
✔✔ABO discovery - ✔✔Landsteiner
✔✔According to Beers law - ✔✔directly proportional to the amount of light absorbed, or
inversely proportional to transmitted light.
✔✔Dce/dce - ✔✔R0/r
✔✔QC +/- of bacteria question. Which should you use for pos and neg QC? - ✔✔Picked
oxidase- E.Coli (neg ox) and pseudomonas (pos ox)
✔✔Cell line question with multiple listed, anisocytosis and ovalcytes stuck out to me -
✔✔anemias and myelofibrosis
✔✔Bile Eschulin and 6.5% NaCL pos - ✔✔distinguishes Enterococcus species from the
group D strep
✔✔Strep pneumo hemolysis - ✔✔alpha
✔✔Strep pneumo in sputum - ✔✔
✔✔ALP seen in - ✔✔liver and bone
