A collection of plasmacytoid lymphocytes and their characteristic scattergram (tail upwards)☝
🔵Plasmacytoid lymphocytes are reactive lymphocytes with coarse chromatin and blue cytoplasm; perinuclear clearing can also be observed.
Visually, they may resemble plasma cells, but they are not🙅🏼♀
✅Normally, reactive lymphocytes can be up to 5%
Large numbers of reactive cells appear when the lymphoid system is activated (viral/bacterial infections, autoimmune processes).
