BACKGROUND In several studies, the presence of Howell-Jolly body-like inclusions within neutrophils has been observed in cases of HIV infection, SARS-CoV-2 infection, post-transplant immunosuppression, and during chemotherapy or antiviral therapy. The phenomenon of neutrophils exhibiting Howell-Jolly body-like inclusions on peripheral blood smears can be attributable to viral infections or the pharmacological effects of medications. CASE REPORT A 14-year-old male patient who had received a diagnosis of lymphoblastic leukemia a year ago underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and was readmitted due to a recurrence of gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).

Assessing the accuracy and clinical utility of GPT-4O in abnormal blood cell morphology recognition.

Digit Health

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated GPT-4O's ability to recognize abnormal blood cell morphology, an important aspect of hematologic diagnosis, and compared its performance to experienced hematologists.
  • GPT-4O showed a 70% accuracy rate, which was significantly lower than the 95.42% accuracy of hematologists, highlighting its limitations in clinical effectiveness.
  • While GPT-4O did well with some specific cell types, overall, it struggled with critical recognition tasks and requires improvements in its algorithms and dataset for reliable clinical application in the future.*

Hematological abnormalities in COVID-19 infection included quantitative and qualitative changes and should be further characterized. Evaluation for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is usually prompted by abnormal hematologic findings and the presence of dysplastic morphologies. Viral infections are considered to be the cause of dysplastic morphologies and should be considered by morphologists.

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a challenging condition to manage especially when conventional treatment methods, including splenectomy, fail. This report evaluates the effectiveness of laparoscopic removal of accessory spleen for chronic refractory ITP after an initial splenectomy. A 73-year-old African American male with a history of ITP, previously treated with laparoscopic splenectomy nine years ago, presented with severe thrombocytopenia that was found to be refractory to medical therapies.
