🩸#MorphologyMonday | Case MM251117 onlycells.co.uk/mm251117/ This week’s case comes from an 84-year-old male who was referred to the haematology team after routine blood tests showed a markedly raised white cell count. Clinically, he reported several weeks of general fatigue but no acute symptoms. He was otherwise well and presented via his GP. The FBC showed: - White cell count: 823 ×10⁹/L (Note: This value exceeded the analyser’s linearity range) - Red cell count: 2.69 ×10¹²/L - Haemoglobin: 84–106 g/L (range reflects correction due to WBC interference) - Haematocrit: 0.306 - MCV: 92.4 fL A blood film was made and images can be seen below. What do you think the diagnosis could be? How do you approach any parameter that exceeds analyser linearity? #OnlyCells #BloodFilm #WhiteCells #LabDiagnostics

Shoutout to the amazing Noemi whose art never fails to impress! I had a vague idea for new Only Cells headers and she turned it into something beautiful. Check it out in my profile or on LinkedIn 👇 linkedin.com/company/onlyce…

It's that time of year again. We are getting more and more such samples. The analyser saw this and was like, "nope". #LabDiagnostics #RedCells

This microscopic image was featured in the Nikon Small World prize, but for bonus points, which organ was this taken from?

🩸#MorphologyMonday | Case MM251027 onlycells.co.uk/mm251027/ A 59 year old presented to the ED with fatigue, shortness of breath, and spontaneous bruising. Laboratory results showed: - WBC: 168 × 10⁹/L The increased white cell count prompted a blood film review (see images below). A sample was sent for flow cytometry and molecular analysis. You can see the results of those investigations on the link above. What do think it is? #OnlyCells #WhiteCells #BloodFilm #LaboratoryDiagnostics

It's not AI. It's not a painting. It is the most detailed image of a human cell to date, obtained by radiography, nuclear magnetic resonance and cryoelectron microscopy. _____ Original post: linkedin.com/posts/laurent-…

🩸#MorphologyMonday | Case MM250728: Multiple myeloma onlycells.co.uk/mm250804-multi… ✅Symptoms: fatigue, back pain, recurrent infections ✅Circulating plasma cells ✅Mild rouleaux formation ✅Anaemia and pancytopenia ✅Increased total protein Diagnosis: multiple myeloma While plasma cells on a film raise suspicion, distinguishing multiple myeloma from plasma cell leukaemia isn’t always straightforward, especially with limited clinical details and mild rouleaux. In this case, the patient's symptoms and raised total protein levels helped confirm the picture of multiple myeloma. #OnlyCells #BloodFilm #MultipleMyeloma #LabDiagnostics

🩸#MorphologyMonday | Case MM250728 onlycells.co.uk/mm250804/ This week’s case comes from a 69-year-old male with fatigue, back pain, and a history of recurrent infections. His FBC shows normocytic anaemia and mild thrombocytopaenia. Biochemistry reveals raised total protein and calcium. What’s the story behind these results? Check out the blood film and share your thoughts. #OnlyCells #BloodFilm #LabDiagnostics #Haematology
