OBJECTIVES: IDH1 and IDH2 are among the most commonly mutated genes in myeloid neoplasms (MNs). It has been proposed that IDH2 R172 mutations (mR172) define a molecular subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but the clinicopathologic features of AML with mR172 have not been fully described. METHODS: We retrospectively identified and characterized all mR172 MNs with increased blasts in our archive for comparison to a similar number of MNs with IDH2 R140 (mR140) and IDH1 R132 (mR132) mutations (n = 39)...

OBJECTIVES: Massive fetomaternal hemorrhage (FMH) is rare and reported to be the cause in approximately 3% of all fetal deaths. Maternal management of massive FMH includes prevention of Rh(D) alloimmunization in Rh(D)-negative mothers by administration of Rh(D) immune globulin (RhIG). METHODS: We describe a case of a 30-year-old O-negative, primigravida woman who presented at 38 weeks of gestation with decreased fetal movements. She underwent an emergency cesarean section and delivered an O-positive baby girl who died shortly after birth...

OBJECTIVES: Two-tiered serologic testing for Lyme disease is usually performed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as the first-tier test. The Quidel Sofia 2 Lyme test is a relatively new lateral flow method to provide more rapid turnaround time. We evaluated its performance in comparison to an established ELISA method. The test can be performed on demand rather than batching assays in a central laboratory. METHODS: We compared the Sofia 2 assay to the Zeus VlsE1/pepC10 IgG/IgM test in a standard two-tiered testing algorithm...
