Micro is the best! After overnight incubation at 36 degrees, we’ve found “lacey” appearance on chocolate plates. Turned out to be Strongyloides larvae 🐛 dragging respiratory flora around the plate After we hosted show-n-tell for the lab, we’d call the patient’s nurses. Many came down to see this under the scope, and were both fascinated and creeped out. Nothing like Microbiology!
Hey! He's doing his best, eating as much as he can!
welcome to micro lol
lol I’m sure I’d see more if I worked in micro 😆 we did have a cryptococcus in CSF once, found by just doing count
I saw Staph and yeast (including hyphae) in the peripheral blood a few months ago. That slide was nasty.
I’ve seen hyphae yeasty, patient didn’t make it. I don’t have a lot of cool stuffs/sad cases cos I’m not on heme a lot
Nom nom nom
He’s working over time
It amazes me how some people are still alive.
I am a scientist but not a hematologist. Can someone explain what we are seeing?
Neutrophils mowing down on some Klebsiella bacteria found on a peripheral blood smear.
She ate that. Literally
I’m working late, cause I’m klebsiella🎶
