CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKAEMIA II SMALL LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKAEMIA II ROBBINS 10TH E II HEMATOLOGY II

[@sokaikat674]

I was head of hematology in a hospital lab in the 80 and 90s. I diagnosed my dad with CLL in 95'. He was in his 60s and died of pneumonia in 2006. Hematology has advanced since I worked it. We went from a Coulter S with oscilloscope cell counters, manual differentials and manual platelet counts, to lasers with scatter patterns. When I worked up my father his lymphocyte count was 70% of the manual differential, with 17,000 total white count, and platelet count of about 120. Smudge cells everywhere. It was an easy slide to read. A very depressing day. How do you tell your father something like that?

Amazing Sir

[@abhilashabajajrao7788]

Sir...the mature looking lymphocytes look like the mature lymphocytes only...how would we differentiate them if they're normal or it's CLL

[@tanmmygarg4051]

With IHC

Sir do you have notes of special pathology for medical students?
