Haematology audit of 801 COVID-19 patients' basics and beyond- Prospective observational study.

Background And Objective: COVID-19 has become a major health concern since 2020. Its clinical presentation varies from asymptomatic cases to cases with respiratory failure needing ICU management. It has created a huge burden on limited health care resources.

Evaluation of utility of immunohistochemistry markers as a tool for objective diagnosis of low-grade myelodysplastic syndrome in routine reporting: Prospective observational study.

Purpose: Diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) primarily relies on the detection of morphological dysplasia in bone marrow. It is subjective and many studies have reported lack of interobserver agreement in reporting. Biopsy is preferred specimen for megakaryocyte assessment.

Study of Bone Marrow Lymphocyte Subset in Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

 Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogenous disorder consisting of clonal expansion of myeloblasts. Tumor immunity plays an important part in the pathobiology of AML. Understanding the components of tumor immunity is important for understanding tumor pathogenesis and the principles of immunotherapy.

Inherited and acquired thrombophilia in women of Indian ethnicity with recurrent pregnancy loss: An observational study from North India.

Objectives: The spectrum of thrombophilia in women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is different in Indian ethnicity as reported by few studies. We aimed to study the prevalence of thrombophilia in RPL patients referred to hematology department of a tertiary centre.

Material And Methods: This is an observational study of 112 RPL patients with no apparent cause after extensive workup for non-hematological causes.

The Development of Ecchymosis after Administration of Convalescent Serum in a Patient with COVID-19 Associated with Thrombocytosis.

Unlabelled: COVID-19 can have an unpredictable and severe course, leading to many hypotheses regarding its pathophysiology and clinical manifestations. Haematological manifestations are a significant predictor of disease severity. The most common observation is lymphopenia with an increased neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio.

A case of splenomegaly with RK-39 positivity: A diagnostic pitfall.

Long-standing moderate to marked splenomegaly suggests several differential diagnoses, both haematological and infectious, particularly leishmaniasis and malaria in endemic areas. Non-infectious causes may be missed in these regions, especially if pitfalls of serological testing are not considered. Careful patient evaluation is necessary to arrive at the correct diagnosis.

Efficacy of Single Low-Dose Rasburicase in Management of Tumor Lysis Syndrome in Leukemia and Lymphoma Patients.

Background: Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is a metabolic emergency in hematology patients. The recommended dose of rasburicase for the management of TLS is 0.2 mg/kg per day for 5 days, which is cost prohibitive for many patients.

Approach to the Diagnosis of Amyloidosis.

Amyloidosis is heterogeneous group of disorder characterized by extracellular deposition of misfolded insoluble proteinaceous material with cross beta pleated sheet structure leading to organ dysfunction. This disease is rare and indeed heterogeneous, as it may be hereditary (familial amyloidosis), secondary to spectrum of inflammatory conditions (AA amyloidosis) or member of plasma cell neoplasm family (AL amyloidosis). AL amyloidosis is the most common type of amyloid, however, is rarely accompanied by multiple myeloma or other lymphoproliferative disorder.
