That is your complete Harrison's hematology master guide. Here is a summary of what was covered from each chapter:
What You Just Learned (Harrison's 22E, Section 9)
Chapter 65 - Interpreting Peripheral Blood Smears
How to systematically examine platelets → RBCs → WBCs using oil immersion. Every abnormal morphology (Auer rods, schistocytes, Howell-Jolly bodies, Pelger-Hüet, tear-drops, etc.) with its clinical meaning. RDW formula and its use in separating iron deficiency from thalassemia.
Chapter 66 - Anemia and Polycythemia
The three mechanisms of anemia (hypoproliferative, maturation defect, hemolysis/loss). EPO physiology. All iron studies with exact normal values. Megaloblastic vs microcytic workup. Myelophthisic (leukoerythroblastic) picture. Polycythemia vera vs secondary causes.
Chapter 67 - Disorders of Granulocytes and Monocytes
Neutrophil life cycle, killing mechanisms (oxidative burst, NETs). Neutropenia classification. Hereditary neutropenia syndromes (Kostmann, WHIM, Shwachman-Diamond, Felty). CGD, LAD, Chediak-Higashi. Eosinophilia and basophilia differentials.
Chapter 68 - Primary and Secondary HLH
HLH as hyperinflammatory convergent phenotype. Primary (genetic - perforin/PRF1 most common) vs secondary (EBV, T-cell lymphoma, MAS). HLH-2004 diagnostic criteria (5/8). Ferritin >10,000 = red flag. Treatment with dexamethasone + etoposide + HSCT for primary.
Chapter 69 - Bleeding and Thrombosis
Mucosal bleeding = platelet/VWD vs hemarthroses = factor deficiency. Primary hemostasis defects (VWD, Bernard-Soulier, Glanzmann's). Coagulation cascade and what each test (PT, aPTT) measures. Inherited thrombophilias (Factor V Leiden most common). APS paradox (prolonged aPTT but causes clots).
Chapter 70 - Lymph Node and Spleen Enlargement
Lymphadenopathy approach: <1% malignancy in primary care. Supraclavicular node = always investigate. When to biopsy. Massive splenomegaly differentials. Hypersplenism. Asplenic patient vaccination.
