Hematology Exam 3 Questions with Answers
(100% Correct Answers)
Newborn Answer: The normal WBC count range is 4 - 40 x 10 9/L at what
age?
2 to 12 years
Newborn
Male adult
1 month old
Eosinophilia Answer: A 17 year-old boy is admitted to the hospital with a fever
of unknown origin. His WBC count is 20.0 x 109/L. The physician suspects a
leukemoid reactions rather than CML. All of the following can be seen on a
peripheral smear of a patient with a leukemoid reaction except:
Eosinophilia, Dohle bodies, Toxic granulation, Increased band neutrophils
Lymphocytosis without anemia and many reactive lymphocytes Answer: A
typical blood picture in infectious mononucleosis is an absolute:
Monocytosis and anemia with many atypical monocytes
Lymphocytosis and anemia with many reactive lymphocytes
Lymphocytosis without anemia and many reactive lymphocytes
Monocytosis without anemia and many atypical monocytes
Alder's anomaly Answer: Which of the following is NOT a lipid storage
disease?
Tay-Sach disease,
Alder's anomaly,
,2
Gaucher's disease,
Niemann-Pick disease
Ribosomes RNA Answer: Dohle bodies consist of:
Alder's anomaly Answer: In which white cell disorder will you see prominent
deposition of granules in every cell line?
Alder's anomaly, Chediak-Higashi syndrome, Pelger-Huët, May-Hegglin
anomaly
Monocyte Answer: Which cell type becomes a macrophage after leaving the
peripheral blood and then enters tissue?
B-cell Answer: Which type of lymphocyte produces antibodies?
Shift to the left Answer: What do you call an increased number of band
neutrophils, metamyelocytes and myelocytes in the peripheral circulation?
Decreased iron production Answer: The basic clinical features of AML -M2
include all of the following except:
Decreased iron production,
Some maturation to or beyond promyelocyte stage, Auer rods are common,
myeloblasts predominate
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia Answer: The most common leukemia in the
adult population is:
Peroxidase and Sudan Black Answer: Stains that will differentiate AML from
ALL are:
many blasts are seen Answer: Which of the following is NOT seen in patients
with CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia)?
patients usually older adults, relatively mature lymphocytes are seen, many
blasts are seen, smudge cells are seen

9.5 x 109/L times 75% Answer: The CBC results for a 3-month-old child are as
follows:
WBC 9.5 x 109/L RBC 3.4 x 1012/L
Hgb 6.7 g/dL Differential
Lymphocytes 75% Segmented neutrophils 25% Hct 25%
The calculation for the absolute lymphocyte count in this patient would be:
AML, type M5
(Monocytic Answer: The WBC count is 20 x 109/L, with 89% blasts, 7% segs,
and 4% monos. The blasts are relatively large and have abundant cytoplasm.
You identify them as monoblasts. More than 90% of them are positive with the
alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase stain. What is the possible diagnosis?
AML, type M4
(Myelomonocytic),
AML, type M1
(without maturation),
AML, type M6
(Erythroid Leukemia),
AML, type M5
(Monocytic)
Large vacuolated blasts Answer: The L3 classification of leukemia is defined
by:
Rapid onset, anemia, thrombocytopenia Answer: Acute leukemic processes are
marked by:
, 4
Hypercellular bone marrow with greater than 20% blasts Answer: According to
current WHO classification criteria, acute leukemia is characterized by which
of the following?
Hypocellular bone marrow with less than 20% blasts,
Hypercellular bone marrow with less than 20% blasts,
Hypercellular bone marrow with greater than 20% blasts,
Hypocellular bone marrow with greater than 20% blasts
ALL - L1 Answer: This is predominantly a disease of children.
ALL - L3,
CLL,
CML,
ALL - L1
All of the above Answer: AML - M4 is marked by:
Increased early myelogenous cells with 20% monocytic cells,
Blasts which may have indented and convoluted nucleiB,
Pseudo Pleger-Huet anomaly,
All of the above
Hodgkin's lymphoma Answer: Reed Sternberg cells are associated with:
Multiple myeloma,
CLL, Hodgkin's lymphoma,
Sèzary syndrome
