Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The cell count is (95 + 102 + 105 + 98)  20)/(4 mm2  0.1 mm) = 20.0  103/mL = 20.0  109/L. This count is elevated for an adult but normal for a newborn.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A hematology analyzer does routine testing in an automated hematology laboratory. However, when counts are very low, including spinal fluid cell counts, and if the instrument is malfunctioning, manual cell counting is usually performed.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
