A CSF WBC count is diluted with:

A total CSF cell count on a clear fluid should be:

The purpose of adding albumin to CSF before cytocentrifugation is to:

The primary concern when pleocytosis of neutrophils and lymphocytes is found in the CSF is:

Neutrophils with pyknotic nucleic may be mistaken for:

The presence of which of the ff cells is increased in a parasitic infection?

Hemosiderin granules and hematoidin crystals are seen in:

Myeloblasts are seen in the CSF:

Cells resembling large and small lymphocytes with cleaved nuclei represent:

The reference range for CSF protein is:

CSF can be differentiated from serum by the presence of:

In serum, the second most prevalent protein is IgG; in CSF, the second most prevalent protein is:

Elevated values for CSF protein can be caused by all of the ff, except:

The integrity of the bood-brain barrier is measured using the:

Given the ff results, calculate the IgG index: CSF IgG, 50 mg/dl; serum IgG, 2 g/dl; CSF albumin, 70 mg/dl; serum albumin, 5 g/dl.

The CSF IgG index calculated in Q. 28 indicates:

The finding of oligoclonal bands in the CSF and not in the serum is seen with:

Which condition is suggested by the ff results: a CSF glucose of 15 mg/dl, WBC count of 5000, 90% neutrophils, and protein of 80 mg/dl?

A patient with a blood glucose of 120 mg/dl would have a normal CSF glucose of:

CSf lactate will be more consistently decreased in:

Measurement of which of the ff can be replaced by CSF glutamine analysis in children with Reye syndrome:

Before performing a Gram stain on CSf, the specimen must be:

All of the ff statements are true about cryptococcal meningitis, except:

The most sensitive and specific method to detect the causative organism in meningitis is:

Traumatic tap:

Maturation of spermatozoa takes place in the:

Enzymes for the coagulation and liquefaction of semen are produced by the:

The major component of semincal fluid is

If the first portion of a semen specimen is not collected, the semen analysis will have which of the following?

Failure of laboratory personnel to document the time a semen sample is collected primarily affects the interpretation of semen:

Liquefaction of a semen specimen should take place within:

A semen specimen delivered to the laboratory in a condom has a normal sperm count and markedly decreased sperm motility. This indicates:

An increased semen pH may be caused by:

Proteolytic enzymes may be added to semen specimens to:

The normal sperm concentration is:

Given the following information, calculate the sperm concentration: dilution, 1:20; sperm counted in five RBC squares on each side of the hemocytometer, 80 and 86; volume, 3 mL.

Using the above information, calculate the sperm concentration when 80 sperm are counted in 1 WBC square and 86 sperm are counted in another WBC square.

The primary reason to dilute a semen specimen before performing a sperm concentration is to:

When performing a sperm concentration, 60 sperm are counted in the RBC squares on one side of the hemocytometer and 90 sperm are counted in the RBC squares on the other side. The specimen is diluted 1:20. The:

Sperm motility evaluations are performed:

The percentage of sperm showing average motility that is considered normal is:

The purpose of the acrosomal cap is to:

The sperm part containing a mitochondrial sheath is the:

All of the following are associated with sperm motility except the:

The morphologic shape of a normal sperm head is:

Normal sperm morphology when using the WHO criteria is:

Additional parameters measured by Kruger’s strict morphology include all of the following except:

Round cells that are of concern and may be included in sperm counts and morphology analysis are:

If 5 round cells per 100 sperm are counted in a sperm morphology smear and the sperm concentration is 30 million, the concentration of round cells is:

Follow-up testing for a low sperm concentration would include testing for:

The immunobead test for antisperm antibodies:

Measurement of α-glucosidase is performed to detect a disorder of the:
