Have you ever wanted to see what was inside that pus that comes out of your pimple?! I am here to show you... A lot of pimples will contain this bacteria 🦠 : Cutibacterium acnes. It normally lives on your face, but like many bacteria, it isn't causing any problems until the conditions are right: increased oil or dirt, hormone fluctuations, etc. C. acnes is also known to cause opportunistic surgical infections or infections in/on medical devices- both of which I have seen before. Some things we didn't see but could see in pimple contents: - more skin cells - dirt/debris - red blood cells - other bacteria types This video is strictly educational. Always consult a licensed medical provider for medical advice. #dermatology #acne #microbiology #medicallaboratoryscience #mls

Malaria in a peripheral blood smear 🩸🦟 There are 5 Plasmodium parasites that cause human disease. The species on the slides is Plasmodium falciparum, which is the deadliest malaria parasite and most prevalent in Africa (WHO). P. vivax is also very serious, and it is found more commonly outside of Africa. There is one field where the parasite could be a schizont, but the rest of the fields contain parasites that are firmly in the trophozoite stages. It's also important to know the difference between a parasite and a platelet, a little review never hurt anyone! #malaria #medicallaboratoryscience #hematology #nursing #parasite

He killed it. Casper the ghost? Eyeballs? Exactly correct. Just in time for spooky season, too 👻 This is not normal blood, this is from a patient with hemoglobin C disease! So those footballs, sea horses, and tadpoles are hemoglobin C crystals 😂 although, I think I'll be calling them by their new names now. We also saw lots of eyeballs, aka target cells, and a few spherocytes. He got the platelets correct!! Hemoglobin C disease is an inherited disorder. The red blood cells are carrying hemoglobin that has the "c" type in it, instead of the normal and preferred "a" type. #hematology #medicallaboratoryscience #nursing #mls #hemoglobin
