peroxidase

cell

size Neutrophils (pink) and eosinophils

(yellow) containing the most perox activity are found to the right. Cells with little or no perox cluster to the left, such as lymphocytes/basophils (blue) and large unstained cells (blasts, variant and atypical lymphocytes, light blue). Monocytes (green) contain a small amount of perox and are located between the neutrophils and large unstained cells. Noise is indicated in the lower left hand corner (white).

Presence of two populations of red cells A broad population of red cells, varying markedly in size, with the majority of the cells being microcytic.

Comparison between automated optical

and immunologic platelet counts

The majority of the data points well outside of the 95 percent confidence limits are above the best-fit line, suggesting that the optical method is more prone to overestimate platelet counts than the immunologic method in this range.

Definition and mechanisms of leukocytosis and neutrophilia

Page 8: Evaluation of Peripheral blood

WBC Count

• The normal limit in adults: 4.400 to 11.0. (4.0 to 10.0) x109/L

• Leukocytosis: NL + 2SD, or> 11.0 x109/L

• Hyperleukocytosis or leukemoid reaction: > 50.0 x109/L

• Neutrophilic leukocytosis: >11.0 x109/L, + ANC>7,700 x109/L

• ANC = WBC x percent (PMNs + bands) ÷ 100

Neutrophilic leukocytosis

• It commonly seen in

• It can also occur in

• Neutrophilia

Infection,

Stress,

Smoking,

Pregnancy,

Following exercise.

Chronic myeloproliferative disorders,

Chronic myeloid leukemia

Page 10: Evaluation of Peripheral blood

Lymphocytic leukocytosis

• WBC 11.0 X109/L, an absolute lymphocyte count > 4.8 X109/L .

• Infectious mononucleosis and pertussis

• Lymphoproliferative disorders, such as the acute and chronic lymphocytic leukemias

Page 11: Evaluation of Peripheral blood

Monocytic leukocytosis

• WBC> 11.0 x109/L, an absolute monocyte > 0.8 x109/L.

• Acute and chronic monocytic variants of leukemia

• Acute bacterial infection or tuberculosis

• Monophilia.

Page 12: Evaluation of Peripheral blood

Eosinophilic and basophilic leukocytosis • WBC>11.0 x109/L, an absolute eosinophil > 0.45 x109/L

or basophil >0.2 x109/L

• Eosinophilic leukocytosis can be seen in

• Basophilic leukocytosis is a distinctly unusual condition,

Chronic leukemia,

Solid tumors,

Infection with parasites, Allergic reactions,

Following treatment with IL-2

Definitions of neutropenia

• Mild neutropenia: ANC 1.0 ~1.5 X109/L

• Moderate neutropenia: ANC 0.500 ~1.0 X109/L

• Severe neutropenia: ANC < 0.5 X109/L

Page 18: Evaluation of Peripheral blood

Etiology of isolated neutropenia

• Acquired neutropenias• Postinfectious neutropenia• Drug-induced neutropenia and agranulocytosis• Primary immune disorders• Hypersplenism• Bone marrow disorders• Congenital neutropenias• Myeloperoxidase deficiency

Fever in the neutropenic adult patient with cancer

Page 21: Evaluation of Peripheral blood

Risk Factors of Fever

■ A rapid decline in ANC or ANC <0.1 X109/L

■ Prolonged duration of neutropenia (>7 to 10 days)

■ Leukemic induction

■ Cancer not under control

■ Comorbid illnesses requiring hospitalization

■ Use of central venous catheters

■ Disruption of mucosal barriers

■ Use of monoclonal antibodies

Page 22: Evaluation of Peripheral blood

INFECTIONS IN FEBRILE NEUTROPENIA

■ A majority of patients had occult bacterial infections

■ An infectious source identified in ~ 30 %

■ Bacteremia documented ~25%

■ ~80% of identified infections arised from patients‘

own endogenous flora.

Symptoms and a physical examination daily

Page 24: Evaluation of Peripheral blood

Laboratory studies • CBC with differential, transaminases, bilirubin, amylase an

d electrolytes, a chest radiograph, and cultures.

• Two or more blood cultures, sputum Gram stain and culture, and urine Gram stain and culture.

• Pulmonary infiltrates frequently can not produce sputum; a more invasive approach including bronchoscopy or open lung biopsy.

• Lumbar puncture is not usually recommended.

Page 25: Evaluation of Peripheral blood

Blood cultures

• One set /day for a stable fever pattern.

• Two or three sets initially and to wait 48 to 72 hours to repeat blood cultures.

Page 26: Evaluation of Peripheral blood

Chest radiographs

■ Findings are often minimal or absent even in patients with pneumonia. ■ Findings may develop along with an increase in symptoms as the neutropenia begins to resolve.

Page 27: Evaluation of Peripheral blood

Chest CT scanning

CT should be ordered for the patients with pulmonary symptoms.

Page 28: Evaluation of Peripheral blood

Colony stimulating factors

■ CSF reported to decrease the duration of neutropenia, fever, and hospitalization.

■ CSF have not been shown to decrease mortality.

■ These agents should not be used routinely for patients with fever and neutropenia.

■ It may be appropriate to consider their use in critically ill patients.
