Yasuo Yamagata, a 63-year-old, experienced severe back pain for several weeks before visiting his family physician. He also complained of fatigue and looked pale. Blood analysis revealed a red blood cell count of 3.2 × 106/μl (normal 4.2–5.0 × 106/μl), a white blood cell count of 2800/μl (normal 5000/μl), a sedimentation rate of 30 mm/h (normal <20 mm/h) and a serum IgG of 4500 mg/dl (normal 600–1500 mg/dl). IgA and IgM levels were well below normal. Skeletal survey showed lytic lesions in vertebrae, ribs and skull. A bone marrow sample revealed 75% infiltration with plasma cells. Elevated protein in urine was confirmed to be Bence-Jones protein (immunoglobulin light chains). The patient was diagnosed with IgG λ multiple myeloma and began an immediate chemotherapy regime. Which of the following would be consistent with this type of malignant tumor of plasma cells? a. Serum IgG is polyclonal. b. Anemia and neutropenia are present as the result of plasma-cell infiltration in the…

Melinda 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?
