Leukocyte and Lymphoid Definitions
Enlarged lymph nodes.
What is lymphadenopathy?
Higher than normal counts of neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils?
What is granulocytosis?
This type of low blood cell never occurs due to stressors, in contrast leukocytosis does.
What is leukopenia?
Mutant tyrosine kinase that drive cell proliferation and survival in some types of leukemia.
What is BCR-ABL1 variant oncoprotein?
These patients benefit from regular phlebotomy.
What is polycythemia vera or hemochromatosis?
This develops after an acute viral infection, petechiae and can cause hemorrhage.
What is ITP?
Lower-than-normal neutrophil count in blood.
What is neutropenia?
Lower than normal counts of neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils?
What is granulocytopenia?
This type of lymphadenopathy indicates drainage from areas of inflammation.
What is localized?
Genetic translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 that creates a mutant protein implicated on CML and other types of leukemia.
What is the Philadelphia chromosome?
The kissing disease term.
What is Infectious Mononucleosis?
This disorder can cause bleeding and thrombolic events.
What is TTP?
Lower than normal blood counts of WBC, RBC, and platelets.
What is pancytopenia?
Complete absence of neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils in the blood?
What is agranulocytosis?
Lymphoblastic means that lymphocytes are this.
What is immature?
Reed-Steinberg cells.
What is Hodgkin Lymphoma?
EBV can eventually turn into this diagnosis.
What is leukemia or lymphoma?
This bleeding disorder is common in pregnant women/post partum.
What is DIC?

What is leukocytosis?
Most common cause of eosinophilia is this.
What are parasites?
Abnormal antibody released by malignant plasma cells in Multiple Myeloma.
What is M Protein?
Splenomegaly puts one at risk for this.
What is splenic rupture?
Diagnosis of EBV during active infection.
What is a Monospot?
Factor you check in DIC that can help you “Rule it in”.
What is Fibrinogen?
Lower than normal WBC.
What is leukopenia?
Monocytosis occurs during this stage of inflammation, in contrast to neutrophilia.
What is Late?
Bone pain and hypercalcemia.
A splenectomy puts one at risk for these types of organisms.
What are Encapsulated organisms.
Bone pain due to lytic lesions.
What is multiple myeloma?
Traveling blood clot.
