Which of these are seen on Romanowsky stain:
a. Depletion of lipids in adrenal cortexb. Pulmonary congestion
c. Depletion of lipids in adrenal cortex
d. Hepatic necrosis
e. Depletion of lymphocytes
Ans. is
a, b, d and e i.e. Depletion of lipids
in adrenal cortex; Pulmonary congestion; Hepatic necrosis; and Depletion of
lymphocytes
• Reticulocytes, Basophilic stippling, Howell jolly body and
Cobot rings are seen by Romanowsky stain.
• This is a basic stain formulated from methylene blue and
eosin.
• Romanowsky stain differentially stain leukocyte granules
which aids in morphologic analysis of the cells. Thus, neutrophil granules are
slightly basic and stain weakly with the azurophilic component.
• Heinz bodies are
denatured haemoglobin which doesn’t stained with Romanowsky stain. Itis
demonstrated by supra vital stains such as crystal violets.
