Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Lymphoid cells are generally negative, whereas myeloblasts are positive. Thus a positive result with this stain can be used to differentiate acute myeloid leukemia from acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The entire myeloid series through neutrophils is positive, so it is not useful in differentiating different types of acute myeloid leukemia. Monocytes are negative to weakly positive.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Auer rods are strongly positive for myeloperoxidase. Sometimes Auer rods that cannot be seen with a Wright stain are visible after staining for myeloperoxidase. Monocytes are only very weakly positive for this enzyme, whereas normal myeloblasts and lymphoblasts (both normal and malignant) are negative.

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.
