A member asked:
20 yo son has severe mono; trying to understand: hypochromasia +1,polychromasia +1,smudge cells present, atypical lymphoctyes 33.3%, rbc4.83, wbc15.1?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing scarry: Hypochromasia=cells with less dense color; polychromasia=cells with variation in density of color, smudge cells= look less distinct under direct exam, atypical lymphocytes= look stimulated as you would expect in mono.The percentages and number are not within expected levels for the condition. This is basically doctor jargon & just affirms the diagnosis. It is something that corrects after healing
