WBC Bingo - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  4. Bone marrow fibrosis tear drops seen on blood smear. "Dry Tap"
    PMF
  5. This toxic change results in colorless areas in the cytoplasm that indicate phagocytosis and degranulation have occurred.
    Toxic Vacuolization
  6. This is a benign, extreme or exaggerated response to an infection or stimulus accompanied by a shift to the left and toxic changes to neutrophils.
