What feature is most often Howell-Jolly bodies
found with patients with a
splenectomy on a Wright's
stained blood smear?
Patients with antibody to the Surface antigen (HbSAg)
following antigen are
immune to Hepatitis B:
Which two of the following ASO titer and Anti-DNase B
tests are helpful for
documenting previous
Streptococcal throat and
skin infections:
In mass spectrometry, the Minimum energy required for the appearance of a particular
"appearance potential" is fragment ion in mass spectrum
defined as the:
What is generally accepted 7.2
as the lower threshold value
for semen pH from fertile
males?
Coulometry: An automated method for measuring chloride which generates
silver ions in the reaction
Also known as Acute Myelogenous Leukemia type
M6. This type is associated with either the presence of both
Erythroleukemia:
erythroid and myeloid precursors OR strictly erythroid
precursors.
,Myelomonocytic leukemia Is associated with an increase in myeloid and monocytic cell
precursors, but not red blood cell precursors
Species that are Lysine (+), Enterobacter aerogenes, Edwardsiella species and most
arginine (=) and ornithine Serratia species
(+):
Lysine reaction for all Negative
Citrobacter:
Key identifying characteristic negative reactions for the three decarboxylases commonly tested
for Pantoa ( Lysine, arginine and ornithine)
(Enterobacter) agglomerans:
Which organism is MOST Yersina entercolitica is most likely responsible for septic
likely responsible for septic reactions in transfusions of Red Blood Cells. This organism is
reactions associated with Red
usually acquired by ingestion of contaminated food and
Blood Cell transfusions?
causes mild symptoms of abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Growth of Y.
entercolitica is enhanced in iron-rich environments such as
red cell components.
Gaucher's disease The most common lysosomal storage disease caused by
insufficient activity of the lysosomal enzyme
glucocerebrosidase that leads to the deposition of
glucocerebroside in cells of the macrophagemonocyte
system.
Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CH), Chronic
Diseases associated with
granulomatous disease (CGD), Myeloperoxidase
dysfunctions of
deficiency (MPO)
polymorphonuclear
neutrophils (PMNs)
, Nephrotic Syndrome: Caused by damage to the kidneys, especially the basement
membrane of the glomerulus; which causes abnormal
excretion of protein and red blood cells in the urine. Fats are
also present in the urine in most cases. A foamy appearance
of the urine is a key characteristic of this condition.
Clinical symptoms include:
Swelling
Weight gain from fluid retention
Poor appetite
High blood pressure
Key Biochemical reactions The key biochemical reactions by which the family
for Enterobacteriaceae: Enterobacteriaceae can be identified include fermentation
of carbohydrates, reduction of nitrates to nitrites and the
absence of cytochrome oxidase activity.
ANA See 2 quiz #27
Prozone effect: Results in a false positive reaction; is the result of
antibody excess and dilution of antibody can help
prevent its occurrence
Purpose of a bi-chromatic Minimize the effect of interference
analyzer with dual
wavelengths is:
Susceptible to bacitracin ("A") and resistant to furazolidone;
Key characteristics of gram positive cocci in tetras, bacteria cells of micrococcus
Micrococcus: luteus are larger than those of the staphylococci and can
arrange in tetras
