In this measurement, technologists failed to identify
microcytes 33 percent of the time, and failed to identify macrocytes 24 percent of the time.
triplinervia, despite the great number of micronuclei, few tetrads presented
microcytes (Figure 2D).
Peripheral smear was consistent with anisocytosis,
microcytes, target cells, tear drop cells, and dimorphic red blood cells.
On the blood smear, there were no shistocytes, spherocytes, poikilocytosis,
microcytes, teardrop, or target cells.
Peripheral blood showed moderate macrocytosis with occasional
microcytes, elliptocytes and occasional teardrop cells.
thalassemia major results in macrocytes rather than
microcytes.
microcytes or macrocytes) may not remain active in the bloodstream for the full 120 days, but may become sequestered and destroyed earlier.
Red blood cell morphology was suggestive of a microangiopathic process: microscopic examination indicated that five of the eight infants had mild to moderate (1+ to 2+) hemolysis characterized by the presence of
microcytes, burr cells, spherocytes, and bizarre fragments.
The peripheral smear examination showed anisopoikilocytosis with macrocytes,
microcytes, schistocytes, target cells, basophilic stippling, and hypochromia of RBCs.
