Yes Iโm at a loss for this one too. Still canโt figure out how weโre expected to differentiate those based on this slide shown.
The only logical explanation that I can think of is that reactive lymphocytes may be seen in LYMPHOMAS as opposed to granulocytes which are seen in LEUKEMIAS
Such a shitty way to trick us, hah!

reactive lymphocytes are seen in EBV infection. you would see lymphocytes in the slide not neutrophils FA2018 pg 165

That makes sense.. but was the question talking about EBV infections or hematological malignancies? Just a vague question I wasnโt really sure what exactly was it trying to teach us, I guess the reactive lymphocytosis just threw me off!
Anyways, thanks for the clarification buddy!

They way I thought about it was:
Granulocytes: multi lobed nucleus
Lymphocytes: single lobe

hello
@whossayin - it's not reactive lymphocytosis because there are no buzzword type symtoms of EBV in the Q stem. Also, reactive lymphocytes look way different.

Granulocytes are neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils.
Lymphocytes are B, T, NK cells.

some wrong answers:
*makes sense b/c myeloblasts are precursors to granulocytes, which use MPO to fight off infections
