Exercise 1: At The Clinic With White

Exercise 1: At The Clinic With White Blood Cells Directions: The following differential white blood cell data was taken from 5 different patients. Each white blood cell profile fits one of the patients. Use this data to answer questions 1-4 Hint: You can get the answers by reading the text on leukocytes in section 17.4 of the textbook and the appendix of this document. Table One: Differential white blood cell counts derived from different patients. % Neutrophils % Eosinophils % Basophils % Monocytes % Lymphocytes Normal Baseline data 50-70% 2-4% 0.5%-1% 3-8% 25-45% Patient A 60 10 1 8 21 Patient B 62 10 5 3 20 Patient C 76.5 1 0.5 2 20 Patient D 18 0 0 1 81 Patient E 62.5 2 0.5 15 20 1. One patient has been diagnosed with leukemia. From the patients above which one is most likely suffering from leukemia? Explain your reasoning. 2. One patient is suffering from allergies. Blood analysis shows high levels of histamine in the patient’s blood. Which of the patients above is most likely suffering from an allergic reaction? Explain your reasoning. 5. Which leukocyte would you expect to be elevated during a viral infection? 6. Kurt has leukemia. Even though he has high numbers of lymphocytes in his bloodstream he is susceptible to severe infections from normally minor infectious pathogens, anemia and severe bleeding. Explain why Kurt is having these symptoms despite high numbers of lymphocytes 7. If you have a serve infection would you expect your WBC count to be closest to 5,000, 10,000 or 15,000 cells per microliter? What would this condition be called? 8. If you were to take an anti-histamine to relieve allergy symptoms, which leukocyte or leukocytes function would you be depressing? Exercise 2: Leukocyte Identification Directions: Download the Powerpoint File: Virtual Lab 3 Leukocyte Identification F22 from the Week 3 – Virtual Laboratory 3 Leukocyte Analysis module on Canvas. Identify leukocytes 1-20 by placing your answer in the table below. Also, for each leukocyte determine whether the cell is an agranulocyte or granulocyte. Answer choices can be used once, more than once or not at all. Refer to your textbook and the appendix of this document as guides for identifying the different leukocytes. Leukocyte # Specific Type of Leukocyte Agranulocyte or Granulocyte 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
