Background:
Persistent polyclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (PPBL) is a rare benign condition characterized by a polyclonal B-cell lymphocytosis with binucleated lymphocytes. We hereby report three cases of PPBL.
Methods:
Flow cytometry immunophenotyping was performed in peripheral blood samples from three patients with clinical suspicion of lymphoproliferative disease.
Results:
Case 1 was a female middle-aged smoker; Case 2 was an elderly male; and Case 3 was a non-smoker female. Flow cytometry evaluation of all cases revealed an expansion of mature B-cells, with a normal Kappa/Lambda light chain ratio; B-cell lymphocytes of Cases 2 and 3 had CD5 coexpression; Case 3 also had monocytosis.
Conclusions:
Diagnose of PPBL is important in order to avoid unnecessary diagnostic procedures and therapy. © 2018 International Clinical Cytometry Society.

Introduction to Documentation and Reporting
Nursing documentation records essential information and details regarding a patient's care and treatment in written or electronic form. It is a critical aspect of nursing practice that involves documenting assessments, interventions, outcomes, and other relevant details about a patient's health status.
Documentation maps the patient's health journey by creating a comprehensive...
