- Apart from suffering from recurrent and prolonged infections, Denis Robin also experienced the following signs and symptoms: fatigue, rapid heart rate, pale skin, easy bruising, prolonged bleeding from cuts, and dizziness. Bone marrow transplant was not an option at that time and so blood transfusion was the treatment of choice. Explain the reasoning behind these other signs and symptoms that Robin experienced.

Agglutination of donor's A antigens by recipient's anti-A antibodies. Agglutination of donor's B antigens by recipient's anti-B antibodies. Agglutination of donor's A antigens by recipient's anti-B antibodies. ○ Agglutination of donor's B antigens by recipient's anti-A antibodies.arrow_forwardMelinda was working the day shift in the hematology laboratory. The laboratory’s protocol called for three levels of blood cell controls to be run at the following times: 1) at the beginning of the shift, 2) within each run of patient samples during the day and 3) any times reagents were changed. The mean for the low (abnormal) control for the red blood cell count was given as 2.00 x 10^12/L, the standard deviation was 0.15, and the confidence limit (acceptable control range) was 2.00 x 10^12/L +/- 2sd (or +/- 0.3). The first morning low control result was 2.10 (x 10^12/L). In five subsequent runs, the low control results were 2.16, 2.19, 2.20, 2.22 and 2.25. 1. Do these values represent a shift, a trend, or neither? 2. Should Melinda be concerned about these values? Explain. 3. Does Melinda need to take any action?arrow_forward
- Why is it necessary to compute for corrected WBC count in the presence of significant number of nucleated red blood cells?arrow_forwardAre you able to recognize and identify the various formed elements? You will need to do this is a systematic manner, scanning along the image. The standard method is to use a grid, but this is not possible with this resource. Try constructing a simple table with each leukocyte type and then making a mark for each cell type you identify. Attempt to classify at least 50 and perhaps as many as 100 different cells. Based on the percentage of cells that you count, do the numbers represent a normal blood smear or does something appear to be abnormal?arrow_forwardWhat characteristics of normal blood is difficult to reproduce in artificial blood?arrow_forward
- Erythroblastosis fetalis is a condition in which the baby's blood type is different than the mother's. If the mother's blood type is A- and her firstborn's blood type is A+, the second baby to have A+ blood type will have many of its RBCs destroyed (before it is born) by the mother's antibodies which cross the placenta. This will result in which of the following?
