with either the presence of both erythroid and myeloid precursors OR strictly erythroid
precursors.

precursors, not red blood cell precursors
Species that are Lysine (+), arginine (=) and ornithine (+): Enterobacter aerogenes,
,Edwardsiella species and most Serratia species
Lysine reaction for all Citrobacter: - Answer Negative
Key identifying characteristic for Pantoa, (Enterobacter) agglomerans: - Answer
negative reactions for the three decarboxylases commonly tested ( Lysine, arginine and
ornithine)
Which of the following is MOST likely responsible for septic reactions associated with
Red Blood Cell transfusions? Answer Yersina entercolitica is most likely responsible for
septic reactions in transfusions of Red Blood Cells. This organism is usually acquired by
ingestion of contaminated food and causes mild symptoms of abdominal pain and
diarrhea. Growth of Y. entercolitica is enhanced in iron-rich environments such as red
cell components.
Gaucher's disease-Answer The most common lysosomal storage disorder due to lack of
activity of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase resulting in glucocerebroside
deposition within cells of the macrophage-monocyte system.

those of the staphylococci and can arrange in tetras.
What might the glomerular filtration rate be for a patient with a serum creatinine of 2
mg/dL, if the urine creatinine was 124 mg/dL and the urine volume was 2.2 L/24 hrs? -
Answer 95 mL/min
One way to estimate a glomerular filtration rate is by using creatinine and urine volume
to calculate creatinine clearance. The formula is as follows:
Creatinine Clearance = (urine creatinine X urine flow rate) / plasma creatinine; where
urine flow rate = volume in mL /24 hours x h/60 min)
In this case = creatinine clearance = 124 X (2200/24 x hour/60) / 2 = 94.7 or 95 ml/min
Estrogen and progesterone markers are most commonly used to provide prognostic
information about: - Answer Breast cancer
