Blood smear –many target cells; sickle cells occasionally seen. 3. Sickle cell preparations – positive. 4. Hemoglobin electrophoresis –SC pattern (Hb S ∼50%; Hb C ∼50%). Clinical Features 1. Similar to, but usually less severe than, sickle cell disease-SS. 2. Severe infarctions ...
c. hemoglobin C trait d. hemoglobin C disease e. hemoglobin SC disease 12. A 57-year-old female presents with incidentally discovered leukocytosis (WBC > 90 × 103/μL). Her peripheral blood smear reveals many immature granulocytes including a relative expansion in the number of myelocytes, ...
Crystal formation (classically, hexagonal-shaped crystals on peripheral blood smear) may result, which can lead to increased blood viscosity and cellular rigidity and shortened erythrocyte survival. Unlike sickle cell disease (SCD), Hb C does not cause linear intracellular polymerization of red cells ...
~xamGation of the peripheral blood smear disclosed slight hypochromia and anisocytosis. The patient received a therapeutic trial of multivi- tamins with iron, but the anemia persisted. Over the next 5 years, the patient received several courses of oral elemental iron therapy, without improvement...
Hemoglobin C diseaseThe typical rod-shaped HbC crystals in the peripheral blood smear often provide the diagnostic clue to the HbC disease. This case highlights that a careful review of blood film morphology may be helpful to detect HbC disease, although this case's routine blood test is normal...

What is the red blood cell life cycle? What is sickle cell anemia and what would a peripheral blood smear look like from a sickle cell patient? Choose the correct answer: The protein portion of hemoglobin is A) heme B) globin C) entire hemoglobin D) none of the above Is correct What ...
(Method: Microscopic examination of treated and stained peripheral blood smear) Less than 1% fetal cells present. Description The Kleihauer-Betke test is used to determine the degree of fetal-maternal hemorrhage (FMH) and to help calculate the dosage of Rh immune globulin (RhIG)—Rho(D) RhoGA...
A peripheral blood smear revealed microcytic hypochromic red cells with some target cells. Hemoglobin electrophoresis showed a very high percentage of hemoglobin E, a very low percentage of hemoglobin A2, and normal proportions of hemoglobin A and hemoglobin F. A diagnosis ...
Therefore, Heinz bodies are often detected only in a blood smear after splenectomy. Erythrocytes with Heinz bodies also have a high affinity to attach to the vascular endothelium. In some variants, oxidatively acting substances, drugs (Table 2), and infections trigger hemolytic crises. A classic ...
