called mononucleosis. The test is positive, and he is given this diagnosis. Associated with this disease
there is frequently inflammation of the pharynx, enlargement of the spleen, and decreased white blood
cell count.

CHAPTER 7
Blood and the Lymphatic System
Worksheet 2 answers
Dictation Report
Write each numbered term as you hear it, spelling each term correctly. This exercise will help you
learn to hear, comprehend, visualize, and spell the new medical terms accurately.
A 76-year-old female patient visited the (1) hematologist for the first time. She had been experiencing a variety of problems associated with blood disease, so her primary care physician referred
her to this specialist. She had already been on many different (2) antibiotics to help her fight (3)
infection. But so far, the physicians had not been able to determine the cause of her problems and
were calling her disease process (4) idiopathic disease.
She has a history of a number of blood (5) dyscrasias and is currently suffering from (6) edema
in her feet and hands. She has lost two toes to (7) gas gangrene and is hopeful that this doctor will be
able to help. There is a history of (8) Hodgkin’s disease in her family. Her problems do not seem to be
those of (9) communicable disease. The doctor is concerned that she might have an (10) autoimmune disease, caused by her own immune response attacking her otherwise healthy tissues. She does
have a history of many (11) allergies, but has never had an episode of (12) anaphylaxis.
The doctor performs a number of blood tests to rule out certain diseases. Her test results do not
indicate any (13) thrombopenia, or a reduced number of platelets; no (14) anisocytosis, or presence
of red blood cells of unequal size; no (15) polycythemia, or abnormal increase in the number of red
blood cells; and no (16) poikilocytosis, or irregularly shaped red blood cells. This is all good news.
However, on physical exam, the physician determines that the patient’s (17) spleen is enlarged,
a condition known as (18) splenomegaly. If her spleen is injured or infected, she might require a
(19) splenectomy, or removal of the spleen. her (20) hemoglobin and (21) hematocrit are within normal limits. She does not have (22) anemia. It is unlikely she has contracted a disease like (23) tetanus,
as there is no history of a puncture injury. The doctor will consider the possibility that she has an

infection, such as a (24) staphylococcemia or a (25) streptococcemia, that is resistant to (26) antibiotic therapy.
The specialist will consider many possible causes of her problems before he prescribes any
medication or treatment. It is imperative that he work quickly, however, as this patient could quickly
develop (27) septicemia, a systemwide disease caused by the presence of bacteria and their toxins in
the circulating blood. He will have to run more (28) blood chemistry and (29) blood culture tests on
her. He will check her clotting time or her (30) coagulation time to determine if she is likely to (31)
hemorrhage. This will be important to know if she should need a (32) blood transfusion.

Immunology is the study of the body’s defense against disease rather than a term
related specifically to blood.
Idiopathic means the disease origin is unknown. It is not an infection.
Anemia describes a low blood cell count or hemoglobin concentration. Although it is a
blood disorder, it is not an immune disorder.
-osis is a suffix rather than a word root.
Leukopenia is a lack of white blood cells and is not a treatment or procedure.
