Question

Match each leukocyte disorder to its cause or definition A total WBC count above 10,000 Leukopenia Leukemia Myeloid Leukemia WBCs/HL Cancer that produces a high number of circulating leukocytes and their precursors A total WBC count below 5,000 Lymphoid Leukemia Leukocytosis WBCs/uL Develops more slowly and may go undetected for many months Appears suddenly progresses rapidly, and causes death within a few months Acute Leukemia Chronic Leukemia Involves uncontrolled lymphocyte or monocyte production Marked by uncontrolled granulocyte production

Explanation / Answer

Leukopenia- A total WBC below 5000 WBCs/microliter

Leukemia- Cancer that produces high number of circulating leukocytes and their precursors

Myeloid leukemia- Marked by uncontrolled granulocyte production

Lymphoid leukemia- Involves uncontrolled lymphocyte or monocyte production

Leukocytosis- A total WBC above 10000WBC/microliter

Acute leukemia- Appears suddenly progresses rapidly and causes death within few months

Chronic leukemia- Develops more slowly and may go undetected for many months
