A 14-year-old girl with a high fever and sore throat presents to the emergency room. A complete blood count with differential implies the presence of a viral infection. Which of the following best describes the cells that indicate a viral etiology to her illness?


A. They are basophilic with spherical dark-stained nuclei

B. They are precursors of osteoclasts and liver Kupffer cells

C. They contain a peripheral hyalomere and central granulomere

D. They have azurophilic granules and multi-lobed nuclei

E. They remain in the circulation approximately 120 day

The correct answer is A.

This question is really asking you two things. First, it tests whether you know that lymphocytosis is associated with viral infection. Second, it tests your knowledge of lymphocytes' histological appearance. Note that these cells are generally small and normally constitute 25%-33% of leukocytes. Two types of lymphocytes have been distinguished: T cells (involved in cell-mediated immunity) and B cells (involved in humoral immunity).

Monocytes are precursors of osteoclasts and liver Kupffer cells (choice B) and also give rise to tissue macrophages and alveolar macrophages. Histiocytes in Connective Tissue, Langerhans Cells in Skin, Microglia in brain n Dendritic Antigen presenting cells

Platelets contain a peripheral hyalomere and central granulomere (choice C).

Neutrophils have azurophilic granules and multi-lobed nuclei (choice D). They increase in number in response to bacterial infection.

Erythrocytes remain in the circulation for about 120 days (choice E)
