DR SUTHANTHIRA KANNAN MD FRCPACONSULTANT HEMATO ONCOLOGIST
WHY HEMATOLOGICAL CASES GETS MISDIAGNOSED OFTEN?
Not doing a complete blood count in analyser
Peripheral smear reports not focussing on diagnosis
HB 45 g/l
MCV 121
RDW 20.5
Wbc 3.5 Platlet 75
Rbc show gross aniospoikilocytosis with numerous microcytes, fragments, few macrocytes, basophilic stippling
Wbc show normal differential with no left shift
Platelets are reduced.
?DIAGNOSIS
Gross macrocytosis with many fragments, basophilic stippling, Wbcs show few hypersegmented and occasional large polymorphs, suggestive of megaloblastic anemia.
20 year male, presenting with facial and mild pedal edema
Hb 6 g/dlTc 30,000/cu mmDC POLY 24 LYMPH 64PLT 134
Treated as interstitial nephrits
Normocytic RBCsWbc show atypical lymphocyte.
PURPOSE OF TALKIndia has far far less number of hemato
pathologistTry to arrive at a working diagnosis based on
CBC, which is possible in ~70% of patients.
Doing a complete blood count is a basic necessity to diagnose most of the underlying haematological disorders/ANY OTHER DISORDER
MCV and RDW are the key MCV and RDW are the key parameters in diagnosing any parameters in diagnosing any anemia, before looking at the blood anemia, before looking at the blood filmfilm
MCV & RDWNormal MCV in adults is around 80-90fl.RDW (Red cell distribution width) normal
cv(16-18%)Reticulocytes are larger than RBCs and can
have MCV from 90-130fl.
RDW50% of RBCs have MCV of 80fl (60)50% of RBCs have MCV of 100 fl (120)MCV will be 90.RDW 25% (gross anisocytosis)Normochromic anemia with reticulocytosis.
RDW high in few conditionsReticulocytosis (Normal + Mild High MCV)
Transfusion (Transfused Rbcs are smaller)
Nutritional anemias (Gradual transition – microcytic + normal OR macrocytic + normal or + low)

Usually indicates hypoxia, marrow stress.

Megaloblastic anemia - Very good prognostic pancytopenia
Other good prognostic/bi-pancytopeniaVHF
Hypersplenism
Pancytopenia what to do? Good pancytopenia
Viral Short lived (not more than a week) Hb, RBC count normal SGOT/PT often deranged
Megaloblastic (High MCV, high LDH, rapid response)
Hypersplenism (absolutely well looking patient, splenomegaly, normal diff – However, this needs evaluation.)
Lethal pancytopenia
LETHAL PANCYTOPENIA90% of the time Leukemia can be suspected/
diagnosed in the peripheral blood
THERE IS NO POINT IN DOING A MARROW FOR DIAGNOSIS OF LEUKEMIA ITSELF
Diagnostic evaluation of leukemia involves, CD marker analysis, karyotyping, FISH, molecular studies
Some times most of the tests can be done in PB (? Marrow for HP evidence )
When the blast number is lowTo check for MDS, fibrosis
Palliative chemo is the preferred option in majority of elderly AML
Prognostication markers can be done in PB in majority of patients

CARRY HOMEClassify MCV into low (<80), normal (80-95),
mildly high (95-110), severely high (>110)Check poly/lymph ratioDegree and number or cytopenias.
Bone marrows in periphery mostly not needed
