What feature is Howell-Jolly bodies
most often found
with patients with
a splenectomy on
a Wright's
stained blood
smear?
Patients with Surface antigen (HbSAg)
antibody to the
following antigen are
immune to Hepatitis
B:
Which two of the ASO titer and Anti-DNase B
following tests are
helpful for
documenting
previous
Streptococcal
throat and skin
infections:
In mass Minimum energy required for the
spectrometry, the appearance of a particular fragment ion
,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
Erythroleukemia: Leukemia type M6. This type is
associated with either the presence of
both erythroid and myeloid
precursors OR strictly erythroid
precursors.
Myelomonocytic Is associated with an increase in myeloid
leukemia and monocytic cell precursors, but not
red blood cell precursors
Species that are Enterobacter aerogenes, Edwardsiella
Lysine (+), species and most Serratia species
arginine (=) and
ornithine (+):
Lysine reaction Negative
for all
Citrobacter:
Key identifying negative reactions for the three
characteristic for decarboxylases commonly tested (
Pantoa Lysine, arginine and ornithine)
(Enterobacter)
agglomerans:
Yersina entercolitica is most likely responsible
Which organism is for septic
MOST likely reactions in transfusions of Red Blood Cells.
This organism is
responsible for
usually acquired by ingestion of
septic reactions
contaminated food and causes mild
, caused by
Gaucher's disease insufficient activity of the lysosomal
enzyme glucocerebrosidase that leads
to the deposition of glucocerebroside
in cells of the macrophage-monocyte
system.
Diseases Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CH),
associated with Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD),
dysfunctions of Myeloperoxidase deficiency (MPO)
polymorphonuclear
neutrophils (PMNs)
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
Nephrotic are also present in the urine in most
Syndrome: 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
The key biochemical reactions by which the
Key Biochemical family
reactions for Enterobacteriaceae can be identified
Enterobacteriace include fermentation of carbohydrates,
ae: reduction of nitrates to nitrites and the
absence of cytochrome oxidase
activity.
