Ultrastructure of lymphocytes in a case of pertussis syndrome
Abstract:
A case of an 11-month-old black male with pertussis syndrome is described. He manifested a lymphocytic leukemoid reaction characterized by marked lymphocytosis and the presence of lymphoblasts in his circulation. A bone marrow examination did not reveal any evidence of acute leukemia. Electron microscopic examination of peripheral blood lymphoid cells revealed the presence of lymphoblasts and immature plasma cells, as well as unusual intramitochondrial and intranuclear bodies. The significance of these structures is discussed.

Functions of the Lymphatic and Immune System
The primary lymphoid organs, including the bone marrow and the thymus, serve as the maturation sites for lymphocytes. Secondary lymphoid organs, like the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, activate these lymphocytes and serve as...
Lymphoid Cells and Tissues
Lymphoid cells consist of various types of immune system cells. These include B and T lymphocytes, which are responsible for producing antibodies and killing infected cells, respectively. Dendritic cells act as messengers between the innate and adaptive...
Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...
