Blood component barcode generator
This tool allows you to generate blood component barcodes on an image that can then be used for training, either scanning directly on the screen or by downloading the generated image.
MM251110: May-Hegglin anomaly
These features are characteristic of May–Hegglin anomaly, one of the MYH9-related disorders. This group of rare inherited conditions presents with thrombocytopenia and large platelets, sometimes accompanied by hearing loss, renal abnormalities, or cataracts.
Morphology Monday | Case MM251110
A 28-year-old female was referred to haematology after routine pre-operative blood tests revealed abnormalities on the full blood count. She reports occasional easy bruising but no significant bleeding history. There’s no recent infection, and she is otherwise well.
MM251103: Chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia
The combined clinical, haematological, and immunophenotypic findings are consistent with Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukaemia (CMML).
Morphology Monday | Case MM251103
This week we have a case from a 61-year-old patient who presented with persistent fatigue and unintentional weight loss. Routine bloods were performed, and the full blood count has raised some important red flags.
MM251027: Acute myeloid leukaemia
The blood film showed numerous myeloid blasts with Auer rods, supporting the diagnosis of AML. Flow cytometry revealed a blast population accounting for 88.7% of total cells, with a myeloid immunophenotype
Morphology Monday | Case MM251027
This week’s case comes from a 59-year-old male who presented to the Emergency Department with fatigue, shortness of breath, and spontaneous bruising that had developed over several weeks.
Malaria | Only Cells | Parasites | Red cells
MM251020: P. malariae
Earlier in the week a couple of blood film images were shared as part of this week’s Morphology Monday case. On closer inspection the blood film revealed both trophozoites and schizonts of Plasmodium malariae.
Morphology Monday | Case MM251020
A middle aged traveller presented with mild, recurring fevers and general malaise several weeks and a slightly reduced platelet count. Blood films were made to assess the cause.
MM251013: Acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APML)
The blood film shows a genuine thrombocytopaenia, with a leukocytosis comprising predominantly of promyelocytes with Auer rods. The cells have immature nucleoli, abundant cytoplasmic granulation and approximately 25%% of the cells are bilobed. These are consistent with acute promyelocytic leukaemia.
