2-month old baby with A. Pure red cell aplasia
Normal WBC, Normal
platelet, reticulocyte count: Feedback In pure red cell aplasia only red cell
0.1%: production is affected and WBC and platelet counts are
normal. It is not likely that RBC count falls that low in
Pure red cell aplasia lead poisoning.
Chronic Myelogenous
Leukemia
Myelofibrosis with myeloid
metaplasia
Polycythemia vera
,A 2 year old child with C. Thyroid- Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
decreased serum T4 is
described as being
somewhat dwarfed, stocky,
overweight and having
coarse features. Of the
following, the most
informative additional
laboratory test would be
the serum:
Cholesterol
Triiodothyronine (T3)
Thyroid-Stimulating
Hormone (TSH)
Thyroxine-Binding Globulin
(TBG)
A. Carcinoid tumors
5HIAA in urine indicates:
Feedback The 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA)
Carcinoid tumors
urine test is used to help diagnose and monitor carcinoid
tumors. It may be ordered by itself or along with a blood
Renal disease
serotonin and/or chromogranin A level. 5-HIAA is the
primary metabolite of serotonin that is excreted in the
Nephrotic syndrome
urine. Concentrations of 5-HIAA may be significantly
increased when a person has a carcinoid tumor that
AOTA
produces serotonin.
,10% KOH was place to a B. Gardnerella vaginalis
vaginal discharge for
microscopic examination. Feedback The whiff test may be positive in up to 70% of
After addition, fishy odor Bacterial vaginosis patients. This test is performed by
comes out: placing a drop of 10% KOH on the speculum after the
vaginal examination or mixing vaginal fluid with a drop of
Trichomonas KOH on a microscope slide. The KOH, by virtue of its
alkaline properties, causes the release of volatile amines
Gardnerella vaginalis from the vaginal fluid. The amines are products of
anaerobic bacterial metabolism.
Staphylococcus
saprophyticus
AOTA
17-Ketosteroids is produced A. Adrenal glands
in the:
Feedback 17-ketosteroids are substances that form when
Adrenal glands the body breaks down male steroid sex hormones called
androgens and other hormones released by the adrenal
Hypothalamus glands in males and females, and by the testes in males.
Thyroid glands
Pituitary glands
57% Hematocrit is normal C. Newborn
in:
Feedback Normal hematocrit value for newborn is 45%
Male to 61%. Normal value ranges vary slightly among
different laboratories.
1 year old

, The above shown crystals is A. Liver disease
indicative of? Fig 26
Feedback Tyrosine crystals appear as fine silky needles
Liver Disease arranged in sheaves or bundles in acid urine. They are
rarely present and may appear together with leucine and
Nephrotic syndrome bilirubin crystals in liver disease.
Albuminuria
Normal
The absence of the C. Rapid progression of the disease
Philadelphia chromosome
in granulocytic leukemia Feedback Prognostic implications of Philadelphia
suggests: chromosome.
A polyclonal origin to the
disease
Excellent response to
therapy
Rapid progression of the
disease
Conversion from another
myeloproliferative disorder
Absorbs light and emit at A. Fluorometer
longer wavelength:
Feedback A fluorometer or fluorimeter is a device used
Fluorometer to measure parameters of fluorescence: its intensity and
wavelength distribution of emission spectrum after
Nephelometer excitation by a certain spectrum of light. These
parameters are used to identify the presence and the
AAS amount of specific molecules in a medium. Modern
fluorometers are capable of detecting fluorescent
TLC molecule concentrations as low as 1 part per trillion
