OK,sorry for the long inactivity and quietness of this blog.
Today, we are going to learn a few more important blood films that are frequently asked in MRCP.
4) Megaloblastic anaemia
During your MRCP examination, they will always show a film with hypersegmented neutrophils. Remember that a normal neutrophil usually has 3-4 segments instead of 8 lobes as shown above!
5) Rouleaux Formation
I was always asked by my lecturer during my second year medical school the question about the abnormality you can detect in blood film for a patient with multiple myeloma. You notice that the RBC's here have stacked together in long chains. Learn more about Multiple myeloma because it is popular in your MRCP.
6) Filariasis
You can detect this only in thick blood film. Although it is almost extinct in UK, you can find this is tropics and subtropics. I always remember it as one of the causes of unilateral leg swelling during my medical school.
