I'd appreciate advice from the group on a case. I am following a 43 yo white female with a history of repeated pneumonias since childhood, now with bronchiectasis, h/o ITP/splenectomy and an impressive h/o recurrent infections - mainly RLL pneumonias/bronchiectasis. IgM is mildly low but immunoglobulins are normal. She has a h/o cervical carcinoma and now has been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the neck positive for p16 suggesting HPV. She has a h/o bleeding with normal platelet counts and her platelet function assay is abnormal (normal kinetics but low ATP release) - this has been repeated. She developed gray hair in her 20's and has had bilateral hearing loss since childhood. Response to pneumovax was excellent (pre-titers are shown below). NK cell function (Cincinnati) was normal.
* Final Report *
The patient's platelets aggregated with all agonists tested: arachidonic acid, ADP and collagen, consistent with normal platelet function. However, we noticed decreased ATP release when her platelets were exposed to collagen and arachidonic acid, but not thrombin. This finding may represent a mild defect in her granular contents, which may explain some of her bleeding history. Dr. M. Marques

Flow Cytometry Clinical Information
The patient is a 43 year old female with a clinical history of IgA deficiency. The patient's current WBC is 10,700 cells/microliter with a differential of 52% segs, 38% lymphs, 9% monos, and 1% basos. The platelet count is 273,000 cells/microliter and the hemoglobin is 12.3 g/dL.
The following cell markers were analyzed by flow cytometry; the data is on file in the Laboratory: CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD8, CD10, CD16, CD19, CD20, CD23, Mu, Delta, Kappa, Lambda, CD56, CD57 and CD45.
This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by UAB Pathology. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The FDA has determined that such clearance or approval is not necessary. This test is used for clinical purposes. This laboratory is certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) as qualified to perform high complexity clinical laboratory testing.
FC Gross Description
The specimen is received in a single tube labeled with the patient's name and containing 3 mL of peripheral blood. The specimen is processed by the whole blood lysis technique.

FC Pathologist Comment
The Wright stained peripheral smear shows normal hematopoetic elements.
>From the CBC data, the absolute lymphocyte count is 4066 cells/microliter.
Flow cytometry analysis shows that 67% of the lymphocytes are CD3+ T cells for an absolute T cell count of 2,732 cells/microliter. About 51% of the lymphocytes are CD4+ T cells, while 14% are CD8 T cells for a ratio of 3.6. Subsets of the T cells co-express CD56 (0.4% of the total lymphocytes), CD57 (2% of the total lymphocytes), and CD16 (0.2% of the total lymphocytes). About 9.1% of the lymphocytes are NK lineage cells. A total of 26% of the lymphocytes are B cells (absolute count = 1,038 cells/microliter), with a small subset of CD10+ B cells (CD10+, CD19+) ( 0.1% of lymphocytes). A total of 2.5% of the lymphocytes co-express CD19 and low density CD5. About 95% of the B cells show bright expression of surface IgM and IgD with polyclonal light chains, with about 2.5% of the B cells being surface IgM and IgD negative.
