S/β°-thalassemia can differ from SS disease in that there may be less severe hemolysis and splenomegaly. S/β+-thalassemia (in which some normal β-globin chains are produced) is a milder disease and, in fact, is asymptomatic in many cases. Pathologic Features The peripheral blood sme...
She has also a history of one normal pregnancy with no miscarriages and multiple splenic infarcts with resultant autosplenectomy. Her peripheral blood smear shows target cells, hemoglobin crystals, and microspherocytes. The article discusses homozygous hemoglobin C disease.EBSCO_AspBlood...
Hemoglobin SC Disease (Sickle Cell Disease-SC) Combination of hemoglobin S and hemoglobin C. Hematology 1. Anemia –if present, usually mild, hemolytic. 2. Blood smear –many target cells; sickle cells occasionally seen. 3. Sickle cell preparations – positive. 4. Hemoglobin electrophoresis –SC...
~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...
blood smear showing sickle cell anemiaBlood smear in which the red cells show variation in size and shape typical of sickle cell anemia. (A) Long, thin, deeply stained cells with pointed ends are irreversibly sickled. (B) Small, round, dense cells are hyperchromic because a part of the mem...
This disease produces a microcytic anemia which is usually mild but which may be severe. Splenomegaly may or may not be present. The presence of large numbers of both microspherocytes and target cells in the blood smear should suggest the possibility of this diagnosis. Confirmatory evidence is ...
they feel it is necessary, your doctor may order additional testing if you have low hemoglobin. Often follow-up testing aims to evaluate the cause or causes of anemia.Testing for anemiamay include tests such as areticulocyte count, arenal panel, aliver panel,hemolysis testing, or ablood smear...

Peripheral blood smear of all the patients displayed hypochromia, anisocytosis, poikilocytosis and target cells. The quantities of HbA 2+Hb CS were 4.3%～6.72%, while Hb A 2 2%. Gene analysis confirmed the diagnosis of homozygous Hb CS. Conclusion There was quite different in clinical ...
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 ...
