Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The chronic myeloproliferative disorders all have increased blood cells, although which one (or ones) varies depending on the condition. They also all have overlapping clinical features. The Philadelphia chromosome is only found in chronic myelogenous leukemia within this classification. Polycythemia vera uniquely has an increased red cell mass, and serious thromboembolic complications are primarily seen in essential thrombocythemia, although they also can be a complication of polycythemia vera when the patient is treated with phlebotomy only.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Myeloblasts plus promyelocytes are usually present between 1 and 5 in chronic myelogenous leukemia. A total of 20 blasts plus promyelocytes is proposed for the classification of chronic myelogenous leukemia accelerated phase. All the other findings listed are characteristic of chronic myelogenous leukemia.

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.
