☀️ Wrapping up the school year with one last #MorphologyMonday from @timrasinski.bsky.social! Don’t miss his Father’s Day and summer-themed word root resources! 📚
#MorphologyMonday
These blood film images are from a man in his 20s presenting with 7 days of malaise and lymphadenopathy.
No improvement so far.
What tests would you request next?
And based on the images… what’s your leading diagnosis?

This was an interesting #MorphologyMonday case because at a first glance it looks very much like P. malariae
A closer look reveals it's P. falciparum because🧐...

Peripheral blood film
#MorphologyMonday
This blood film is from a 30 something year old who travelled to Cameroon without taking the recommended prophylaxis.
A RDT (Care US kit) was positive for T1 and T2.
What do you see? What's the diagnosis?

Here is a peripheral blood film image from a patient with AML. Why do the blast cells clump? What makes them so 'sticky'?

We are always told, red cells are biconcave in shape and expect them to appear circular on the peripheral blood film. So why do these look like little sausages scattered about?

Here are some pictures of red cells. What is the name given to the blue speckling seen within them and what is a cause of this?
Last case (005) was tear drop cells in myelofibrosis. You can read more about them here: onlycells.co.uk/red-cells-da...

Cells squeezed, stretched long,
Pear-shaped tears in blood's stream flow,
Spleen's harsh passageway.
Guess the cell and it'll give you a clue as to in which condition they are seen!

I was sat at the microscope showing a work experience student some of the things we get up to in the haematology lab. We were looking at this blood film.
"So what causes this?" she asked.
What do you think it is, and what causes it?

"Hi," said the person on the phone. "Can you please take a look at the film for this patient urgently. And also do the screening test?"
"Sure thing. Give me 15 mins," I replied.
What do the blood film and the screening result show?

The automated analyser was unable to give a count for the lymphocytes and monocytes and so needed a manual differential.
What do you think is wrong with the patient?
