CD34+ eosinophils???

Dear Flowers,

Help!  We have an 83 y.o.male patient with ?MDS, WBC 7.6 X 10exp9/L,
                                         neutrophils 3.9,
                                         lymphocytes 2.3,
                                           monocytes 0.7,
                                         eosinophils 0.7.
On flow, 8% of his cells form a discrete population which is CD45+
(intensity between neutrophils and lymphocytes), CD14 weakly positive
(intensity just above neutrophils), CD34+CD33+.  On the FSC / SSC plot they
fall where I expect to find eosinophils (i.e. to the upper left of
neutrophils), and on logSSC/ CD45, to the right of where neutrophils are
supposed to be.    What am I looking at?

Thanks in anticipation,
Beth
