ID#: 6080 Caption: This micrograph depicts an atypical, enlarged lymphocyte found in the blood smear from a hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) patient. Hematologic findings are important in HPS. This large atypical lymphocyte is an example of one of the laboratory findings, which when combined with a bandemia, i.e., immature white blood cells, and dropping platelet count, is characteristic of HPS.
