In this final session of the ABID webinar series, we’ll explore some of the more unusual and challenging aspects of antibody identification
This week’s case explored a blood film from a patient with known multiple myeloma, now presenting with progressive symptoms and worsening cytopenias.
Following on from the foundations laid in Session 1: Tools of the Trade, this session focused on applying key antibody identification techniques through real-world case discussions.
This week’s case comes from a 69 year old male presenting with a increasing fatigue and back back over the past several months. He has also experiences recurrent infections recently.
This week’s Morphology Monday case features a patient with known Sickle Cell Disease (SCD)
Registration is now open for Session 2 of the Antibody Identification (ABID) Webinar Series: Putting it into practice
This week’s Morphology Monday case comes from a 26-year-old individual with a known history of anaemia who presented to A&E with generalised fatigue, mild jaundice, and bone pain in the lower limbs.
The findings are highly suggestive of an acute leukaemia, and given the age of the patient it raises a strong suspicion for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL)
This week’s case features a 14-year-old male who had just celebrated his birthday when he presented to hospital with an abnormal full blood count and some concerning symptoms.
These findings raised the possibility of a haemoglobinopathy. Given the red cell morphology and raised RDW, follow-up testing was advised.
