The electrolyte panel consists of potassium, sodium, chloride, carbon dioxide. These analytes are also typically ordered within other panels as well, including the basic metabolic and complete metabolic panels. An electrolyte panel (lytes, chem-4) consists of: 

Haemophilus influenzae is both X and V factor dependent for growth, and is the most common cause of obstructive laryngitis and epiglottitis. H. parainfluenzae is only V-factor dependent and causes only mild pharyngitis, rarely obstructive in nature. H. aphrophilus can be part of the normal upper respiratory flora in humans, does not cause pharyngitis, and is not X or V-factor dependent for growth. Although H. haemolyticus is both X and V-factor dependent, it is beta hemolytic on blood agar and is generally considered non pathogenic. Acute obstructive epiglottitis, both in adults and children, is caused by the bacterial species shown in this split screen photograph. The colonies recovered on chocolate agar (upper frame) required both hematin and NAD, (as shown by colony growth only between the X and V strips in the lower frame). The most likely identification is:

Hemolytic anemia, myelodysplasia, and liver disease may each fit this peripheral blood picture. Each of theseconditions can display peripheral blood macrocytosis. It is easy to observe the overall larger size of the redblood cells in this image compared to the normal lymphocyte also present.When macrocytes are present, they should be examined for their shape (round vs. oval), the hemoglobincontent (central pallor), and whether or not there are any inclusions present in the cell.Iron deficiency would not be the correct answer in this case, since this condition is associated withmicrocytosis instead.The complete blood count was obtained from a patient recently admitted to the emergency room. The redblood cell indices obtained revealed an MCV of 115 femtoliters (fL) (normal range 80 - 90 fL). The patientmet the criteria for a peripheral blood smear examination. A representative field is shown on the right

A monoclonal B-cell population (Kappa or Lambda predominant) with expression of CD19, CD20, CD23, and co-expression of CD5 is consistent with which of the following?
