Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multi-system autoimmune disease characterized by autoantibody production and organ damage. It predominantly affects women of childbearing age. The disease has an unknown etiology involving genetic, environmental, and immune system factors. Common clinical manifestations include arthritis, rash, oral ulcers, photosensitivity, and involvement of major organ systems like the kidneys, heart, and lungs. Diagnosis is based on clinical criteria and the presence of autoantibodies. Treatment involves managing symptoms, preventing flares, and suppressing the immune system using medications like corticosteroids, antimalarials, azathioprine, and cyclophosphamide. Pro

This document summarizes infectious mononucleosis, also known as glandular fever. It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus and results in fever, sore throat, lymphadenopathy, and an increased number of atypical lymphocytes. It is commonly seen in adolescents and young adults. The virus spreads through saliva and infects B cells. This causes a proliferation of infected B cells and symptoms like fever and sore throat. Complications can include neurological issues, splenic rupture, and some cancers. Diagnosis involves detecting heterophil antibodies, elevated lymphocytes including atypical ones, and viral antibodies. There is usually a self-limited course over 1-3 weeks.
Lupus is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues and organs. It was first described in the 10th century but key advancements in understanding the disease only occurred in the late 19th and 20th centuries with identification of diagnostic markers and classification criteria. Lupus disproportionately affects women and can involve multiple organ systems, with a wide range of potential symptoms. Diagnosis is based on evaluating clinical features and lab tests for autoantibodies and applying classification criteria from medical organizations.
This document provides an overview of lymphadenopathy in children, including its anatomy, pathophysiology, causes, and management approaches. It distinguishes between generalized and regional lymphadenopathy. Common causes of generalized lymphadenopathy include viral infections like mononucleosis, while regional lymphadenopathy is often due to infections in the local drainage area. Evaluation involves considering infectious, inflammatory, and malignant etiologies based on presentation. Management depends on the identified cause but typically involves supportive care or antibiotics for infections.
Leukaemia is a cancer of the white blood cells characterized by the overproduction of abnormal white blood cells in the bone marrow.

White blood cells - morphology, functions and variationsJilsha Cecil
White blood cells (WBCs), also known as leukocytes, are nucleated cells that perform defense functions in the body. There are 5 main types of WBCs - neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes. Each type has distinct morphological features and functions. Neutrophils are the most abundant WBC and form the first line of defense via phagocytosis. Eosinophils and basophils are involved in allergic responses. Lymphocytes mediate humoral and cell-mediated immunity. Monocytes differentiate into macrophages and also phagocytose pathogens. WBC counts can become elevated or decreased in various physiological and pathological conditions.

The benefits of an ePCR solution should extend to the whole EMS organization, not just certain groups of people or certain departments. It should provide more than just a form for entering and a database for storing information. It should also include a workflow of how information is communicated, used and stored across the entire organization.

histamine & 5-HT.
In the tissue these cells become mast cells.
Count above 100/cu mm – Basophilia.
BASOPHILIA
1. CML 6. After spleenectomy
2. Polycythemia vera 7. HD
3. Myelosclerosis 8. Urticaria pigmentosa
4. Myxoedema
5. Ulcerative colitis
23. LEUKAEMOID REACTION
Definition: Reactive excessive leucocytosis in the P.S.
resembling that of leukaemia in a subject who does not
have leukaemia.
Confusing blood picture, C/F of leukaemia (HS
megaly, LN pathy & haemorrhgae) are absent.
TYPES
1. Myeloid leukaemoid reaction
2. Lymphoid leukaemoid reaction
25. Laboratory Diagnosis
1. TLC< 1,00,000 /cu mm.
2. Immature cells: Metamyelocytes, Myelocytes
(5-15%) & blast < 5% i.e. picture simulate of CML.
3. Infective cases may shows toxic granulation &
Dohle bodies in the cytoplasm of polymorphs.
4. NAP score : MLR CML
5. Additional features: Anaemia
Platelet count- N or
Myeloid metaplasia of BM
Absence of infiltration of blast in organ & tissue.
26. LYMPHOID LEUKAEMOID REACTION
CAUSES
1. Infection: CMV, Whooping cough, TB,
infectious mononucleosis.
2. Malignant disease: Rarely produces LLR.
LABORATORY DIAGNOSIS
TLC: < 1,00,000 / cu mm
DLC: Mature small & large lymphocytes thus picture
simulates CLL.
27. Failure is not the crime but low aim is crime !
