A prominent leukocytosis is present with numerous cells exhibiting bilobed or monocytoid-appearing nuclei. Cytoplasmic granulation is absent to inconspicuous. Rare cells contained Auer rods (not shown in this field). Wright-Giemsa stain. Slides were viewed with an Olympus BX50 microscope using a 60×/1.4 oil-objective lens. Images were acquired using Olympus DP70 and 71 cameras and Olympus DP70 and 71 software. Images were not manipulated.
