Tell me why I'm writing a story on the romance between a t-lymphocyte and a macrophage. I'm getting unnecessarily attached to silly little guys that don't even exist properly yet.

Breaking News: Local Lab Tech Wins the Lottery

And by lottery, we mean finding neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils, and eosinophils all in one slide!

You may ask, did the person who the slide was collected from have chronic bacterial infections and parasitic worms?

Who cares? That's the full spread of leukocytes all on one slide!

here's a few of mine: fresh blood sample under x1250 magnification, TLM, no fixation or staining, just rawdogging it

visible red blood cells and a few types of white blood cells

i miss science class bro. we dont put things under microscopes as much as we should

Prostanoids enemies forever: we'll keep on fighting (IL-)2 exhaustion 'TIL cancer cells will die

Tumors actively prevent the formation of immune responses by so-called cytotoxic T cells, which are essential in combating cancer. In cancer, tumors often impair the body’s immune response. For example, they can prevent immune cells from perceiving cancer cells as a threat or render them inactive. Immunotherapies aim to overcome these mechanisms and stimulate the immune system, in particular the…

When Blood Counts Matter: Indications for Differential Count Testing

The human body is a complex organism, and its intricate systems sometimes require thorough examination to understand their functioning fully. One such examination is the differential count test, a crucial component of a complete blood count (CBC). This test provides valuable insights into the composition of white blood cells (WBCs), aiding in the diagnosis and monitoring of various health conditions. Let's delve into the differential count test, its purpose, and who should consider taking it.

What is a Differential Count Test?

The Differential count test, also known as the white blood cell differential, is a laboratory analysis that identifies and quantifies the different types of white blood cells present in a blood sample. These cells include neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. Each type plays a distinct role in the immune system, and alterations in their levels can indicate specific health issues.

Purpose of the Test

1. Diagnosis of Infections:

Elevated levels of certain white blood cells, such as neutrophils, often indicate the presence of a bacterial infection. In contrast, increased lymphocytes may suggest a viral infection.

2. Immune System Disorders:

Abnormalities in white blood cell counts can signify underlying immune system disorders, such as leukemia, lymphoma, or autoimmune diseases.

3. Monitoring Treatment:

For individuals undergoing chemotherapy or other treatments affecting the bone marrow, regular differential count tests help monitor the effects on blood cell production.

4. Assessment of Allergic Reactions:

Eosinophils, in particular, are associated with allergic responses. Increased eosinophil counts may indicate allergies or parasitic infections.

5. Evaluation of Bone Marrow Function:

Changes in the distribution of white blood cell types can provide insights into bone marrow function and potential disorders affecting blood cell production.

Who Should Take It?

1. Routine Health Screenings:

Differential count tests are often included as part of routine health check-ups, especially for individuals with a history of immune system disorders or those undergoing treatment affecting blood cell counts.

2. Symptomatic Individuals:

People experiencing symptoms such as recurrent infections, unexplained fever, fatigue, or abnormal bruising may benefit from a differential count test to assess their immune system function.

3. Preoperative Evaluation:

Surgeons may request differential count tests before certain surgeries to ensure the patient's immune system is functioning optimally and to identify any underlying conditions that could affect surgery or recovery.

4. Monitoring Chronic Conditions:

Individuals with chronic illnesses, such as HIV/AIDS or autoimmune disorders, often require regular differential count tests to monitor disease progression and treatment effectiveness.

5. Cancer Patients:

Differential count tests are crucial for cancer patients undergoing treatment, as they help assess the impact of therapies on blood cell counts and detect any complications, such as infection or bone marrow suppression.

Conclusion:

The differential count test is a valuable tool in evaluating the composition of white blood cells and assessing immune system function. By identifying abnormalities in white blood cell counts, healthcare providers can diagnose infections, monitor treatment effectiveness, and detect underlying health conditions. Whether as part of routine screenings or in response to specific symptoms, individuals can benefit from undergoing this essential test to safeguard their health and well-being. Always consult with a healthcare professional to determine if a differential count test is appropriate for your situation.

Admission to the Cancer Centre

Tonight was to be Leah’s first time attending a big family get together since her bone marrow transplant – she’s day 179 post transplant. The Dr told us a few weeks ago that her lymphocytes were on the rise & were out of the “danger zone”. Leah was a bit short of breath when climbing the stairs yesterday but her temperature was normal & she was otherwise well so we decided to wait and mention…

-Moths Of Disease

I hate being sick

Because being sick means your head spins around while you stay still

Your mind is flying too fast

Like little moths searching to eat its fill

They scurry around the caves inside your nose

And sneak into your lungs

They lay there to multiply and run rampant, flicking their tongues

The moths spit up poison in return

Scorching your throat and burning your skin

While you cough and cough and cough

Pesky little insects, never quite knowing when to quit

Wasted fluids, liquids and spat spit

The little moths are greedy,

They never drink their fill

But the moths will never win

I must admit I can see a great battle

In my yellowed spit and flaring heat

Little white soldiers fight

Grabbing weapons and spite

I know they will become victorious

It only takes a little time
